They have been developing a body of work that questions the suspension of the present and searches for ways in which an altogether different imaginary and language can emerge, outside colonial/capitalist narratives and discourse. In their projects, they find themselves excavating, activating and inventing incidental narratives, figures, gestures and sites as material for re-imagining the possibilities of the present. Often reflecting on ideas of non-linearity in the form of returns, amnesia and deja vu, and in the process unfolding the slippages between actuality and projection (fiction, myth, wish), between what something is and what it could be. They are also founding members of the sound and image performance group Tashweesh.
