On the occasion of Olukemi Lijadu’s exhibition at Spike Island, Feedback, Lijadu will perform a newly commissioned live music score to her film Feedback. Unfolding behind a sheer screen, the performance draws on the tradition of expanded cinema to collapse the virtual realm of the film into the physical space of the galleries.
As a DJ who works in the realms of moving image and sound, her performances take listeners on a journey between culture and time, weaving together music, film and performance.
Olukemi Lijadu’s performance, Feedback, is in partnership with Bristol New Music.
