Jaro Straub and Matthew Burbidge: Complete Communion Celebration


PRESS RELEASE:
Complete Communion Celebration
Jaro Straub (Germany 1973) & Matthew Burbidge ( GB 1970) made the video installation Complete Communion Celebration based on an eight-hour performance during which the artists juxtaposed improvised guitar sounds and voices with passages from Guy Debord's autobiographical book `Panegyric' for an absent public, under a river-side bridge in Berlin. The performance is presented as two distinctly filmed parts, which are projected simultaneously: in one part the artists are performing in a seemingly interior space; in the other the sun is setting over a landscape, which rapidly becomes obscured in darkness
