CONCRETE – a brutal material.
Raw, massive, and yet fragile.
Made of fine sand, cement, and water – still ominous, cold, and overwhelming.
In our live performance, we explore the tensions of concrete: between resistance and decay, between flowing movement and massive form, between rough surface and fine sand within.

FAQ & BOOKING

1

WHY "SOMBRERO M104"

Sombrero M104 is a galaxy in the Virgo cluster with a supermassive black hole in its core. It is one of the most massive found in nearby galaxies. We chose the name Sombrero M104, because

​

  • the core of the galaxy shapes and resonates with the galaxy’s light and dust, much like how our creative forces—image, sound, color—interact to birth something new

 

  • the birth of galaxies and the making of art share a mystery
     

  • galaxies form through collapse and expansion, where gravity and black holes shape light and matter. In a similar way, our painting, video art, and music collide and resonate until something new appears
     

  • we carry these elements within us:

    • silence and sound,

    • color and darkness,

    • movement and stillness,

    • brutality and beauty.​
