Speed queen
Article Abstract:
Aku Kadogo's new multimedia show, 'Frenzy,' is about the notion of speed. It was inspired by Indian writer Gita Mehta, who said Kalyug is characterized by speed, the enemy of reflection. Kadogo has wanted to collaborate with visual artist Fiona Foley to create an installation as the setting for a piece to be performed.
