Show Ring / Tether
“tether” is a single channel video installation that presents live visual manipulations of the aforementioned piece by video artist kelechi agwuncha and live musical scoring by Eva Marie Gonzalez Ruskiewicz. The video piece pays homage to agwuncha's subconscious childhood memories of performance rituals. This bridges and reimagines their memories of playing the American recess game, "tetherball" and witnessing traditional Ojiọnu Igbo (Nigerian) masquerade figures gesture in a kind of spectacular, uncensored reality.
