Davosboros

Davosboros plunges the depths to explore the psychological disorders of elite men.

Davosboros plunges the depths to explore the psychological disorders of elite men. Each segment of the video features the head of an elite man, performing their subconscious. Jamie Dimon’s face melts at the thought of the impending pandemic, Elon Musk contemplates artificial intelligence and identity, Jeff Bezos lip syncs his immortal wish, Tucker Carlson gasps for breath on air and Steve Bannon becomes a chorus of pre-lingual grunts. By blending fact and fiction, the toxicity of these men is laid bare and connected to the anxieties of the current moment. Their inner lives are an underlying heartbeat to the normalized violence of economic and political control, where language is emptied out to serve the powerful. In vocalizing the unspeakable, Davosboros seeks to reclaim language, and to contrast their power with compulsion and frailty.

Lecture Performance

Davosboros began as a multimedia lecture performance, performed virtually and in person in 2022-2023.
