Myriam Van Imschoot & Marcus Bergner (BE/AT)

Yoke

Myriam Van Imschoot is a performance artist working through the medium of voice in performance, film and installation. Marcus Bergner has exhibited and worked extensively in the fields of sound poetry and experimental film. Together they join forces in Yoke, a unique combination of sound poetry and shadow pieces. Virtually everything we do in life involves shadows, either physically or metaphorically, but rarely do we recognise their presence or influence. Yoke dismantles the ancient phrase lux lucet in tenebris (‘light shines in shadow’), both philosophically and aesthetically, transforming the environment in which it is performed into a forum for collective reflection.
