Live Expanded Cinema Performance
(Live video projections; digital sound synthesis using SuperCollider; drums, percussion and gongs)

Proliferations I & II first premiered in 2015 at Uferstudios in Berlin, where they were conceived as part of an artist in residency program called DRECK EIN APPART where Rosenfeld was doing creative research for their upcoming feature film FOXES. Later shown in 2016 at Kampnagel, Germany and Inkonst, Sweden.

This work is part of a two year creative body of research, in which Rosenfeld has been exploring and creating towards their first feature film FOXES. Through performance, short videos & films, drawings, collages and expanded cinema installations, Rosenfeld has been researching themes of queer desire, climate change, invisible genocide, and radical- positive apocalypse.

"(Elusive) efforts towards a realization of (un-defined degrees of) social coition via dynamic autonomy in order to achieve eventual practical implementation of meta-jurisprudence.

Pining towards a future vision that surpasses generally accepted structural limitations of the human condition, not limited to the capabilities of the human perceptive apparatuses; the ego; dimensions of time and space; notions of gender, sexuality and other societal norms, and so on.

Building off their research into the unwanted & censored culture of the early 20th century Russian avant-garde—scientific & artistic inventions in film, electronic music, musical instruments & conceptual trans-disciplinary endeavors once destined for the trash bins due to the totalitarian regime of Stalin— sonic duo Hacklander \ Hatam join forces with filmmaker & performer Liz Rosenfeld in the wake of their Foxes (performance practice research for a futuristic social fiction film) where there is an energy crisis and humans have accepted the fact that foxes are the only mammals left on earth with the ability to reproduce:

“We can only create energy for our daily needs through the harnessing of sexuality. We are called to duty to devote sexual energy to the non-procreative survival of humanity.” – Hacklander and Hatam
