Through its runwayed distribution, Vanity Poverty Revenge configures dynamics of crowd insurrection in the streets. A stage of rage, impotence and total lack of hope that considers connections between dispersed cultural and political phenomena, from the hyper-medication of societies to the proliferation of homelessness and the dismantling of public space, to how these embodiments of Western misery find their most stylized expressions in haute couture.
Søren Evinson’s work lives in the intersections of performance, theatre and dance. By sliding through these categories, he generates new fantasies on what can be conceived as spectacular, understanding the spectacular in the context of consumer society and the idealisation of contemporary culture. He investigates through body, word, song and objects, and elaborates motifs made out of poses, gestures, vocalisations and language, by which he builds and thinks choreographically. He works on presence, gesture and action as form, word, speech and discourse as form, gaze, audience and entertainment as form, with the intention of attending to the exhibiting of the body to further construct narratives that through their sequentiality appear to be sensitive to the logos but that disrupt its logics within their own frames of expression. Søren Evinson is associated artist of Graner 2023-24, associated artist of Mercat de les Flors in the 2024-25 season and long term resident artist of Hangar 2024-26.
