Little Operations: Aviva Endean

In 2015, Emerging Artist-in-Residence Aviva Endean presented The Perfect Human, a new work in development collaborating with vocalists Carolyn Connors and Jenny Barnes, as part of Little Operations. Taking its title from Jørgen Leth's 1967 short film Det perfekte menneske, which depicts a man and a woman functioning in a white boundless room, the work explored acapella vocal textures, vocal preparations, and physical exertion, contrasting the ageless fascination with the human voice with the disposable nature of lo-fi lighting purchased from a $2 shop. This event was presented in association with Footscray Community Arts Centre.
