A real life true story and the image-less hallucinogens of Tony Conrad's 1966 film 'The Flicker' are presented simultaneously, like parallel lines in a face-off. IBIZA is a question about the real: an assertion of difference or a kind of hopelessness with nonetheless some good energy, a response to a specific place and a specific time, a personal history and imaginary space. Not Ibiza, but the room we're in. - Ian White

“Experiencing the piece, one’s position as a member of the audience shifts, from an eavesdropper straining to listen in, to one exposed as such – just as the artist-speaker exposes his own vulnerability in telling the tale and masks it through this peculiar, simultaneous erasure.” – Catherine Wood
