“Musa paradisiaca has opened up to new dimensions and ways of thinking in which the hybridity and freedom from the responsibility of the creative act gain a central role through editing (…). An exercise in poeticising the languages (going beyond words) that make up our everyday lives.

“For the New Artists Prize, they have presented three different works: the film “Hunting Scene” (the duo’s first); a projection of slides with synchronous sound “Souls’ Commission” and a series of [pitch] sculptures. All three works can be considered as exercises in translating or staging a (historical, discursive and image-based) notion of the real in new, fictionalised, intuitive, magical and timeless images.”
