The Forever Loop

Eddie Peake installation

Live performance, sculpture, video, installation and painting came together in Eddie Peake’s energetic gallery experience.

The Forever Loop presented a choreographed, looped performance that wove in and out of synchronisation with a video of past performances, a home movie from his childhood and a film shot at the studio of koollondon.com.

Set against a backdrop of maze-like, plastered wall structures that framed both the viewer and performer to a raised scaffold walkway, the performers moved in and out of the spaces taking the viewer on a dramatic journey, while a sheer suited roller skater moved fluidly through the space.

The space was populated with surreal objects including a cast of Perspex bears, brightly coloured whale bones, a metal figure with an acrylic box head filled with autobiographical items, as well as delicate bronze pipettes nestled on shelves with plaster sculptures.
