Liquid Trust is a collaborative work, featuring contributions from performer Michele Sereda, musicians Ben Brown and Jeff Morton, Vancouver-based singer and conductor DB Boyko, and achamber choir. It has evolved over time, adapting to various exhibition contexts and incorporating new collaborators with each iteration. The project has been staged at venues including Western Front in Vancouver (2014), ICA London (2015), GRAD Gallery in London (2016), Zenko Foundation in Lviv (2017), and Strauhof Zurich (2021).
Liquid Trust is a dynamic performance and video installation exploring the accelerated states of labor, leisure, and social interaction in contemporary life. Its visual narrative unfolds through a series of video vignettes, evolving alongside multiple live performances. In live presentations, the video becomes a backdrop for a choir, while it also stands alone as an immersive video installation.
Sound, music, and spoken word elements were crafted to resonate with the live performances, transforming the original text into soundscapes and choral compositions.
The project draws inspiration from oxytocin, often referred to as the "trust molecule" or "love hormone," which is linked to social bonding and trust. This biological theme is paired with visual references to the utopian visions of Superstudio, the Italian radical architecture collective from the 1970s. They imagined a future without physical buildings—conceptual "continuous monuments" of hyper-connectivity and energy—yet never constructed anything tangible.
