BAHK release their new ‘Alternatives to Identity for a Future Society beyond Head Infected Bodies’ video piece, commissioned by Outlands Network, premiering via AQNB today. The interdisciplinary duo consisting Elvin Brandhi and Daniel Blumberg have been developing an archive of collaborative work across sound, visual art and video for the past three years.

 
The product of a series of residencies in Rome, Lisbon and Istanbul, the 15-minute work acts as a sort of manifesto providing an entry point into a bizarre ‘BAHKtian’ world of experimental sound, drawing, poetry and physical movement all undercut with surrealist humour. It’s a collision of raw footage and cacophonous noise that points to the forthcoming album Bahktogram, which will be released in 2022.** 

Bahk’s ‘Alternatives to Identity for a Future Society beyond Head Infected Bodies’ video, commissioned by Outlands Network, is released today, December 2, 2021.
