| ‘Survivor’ By Hofesh Shechter & Antony Gormley |
 |
|
Brave and different, visceral and emotional, with Hofesh Shechter’s music set within a visual landscape created by Antony Gormley, ‘Survivor’ is about seeds of feeling, the search for continuity and the deconstruction of the spectacle, as it showcases Hofesh Shechter’s trademark percussive grooves, melancholy strings and atmospheric electronic soundscapes .
