“I make performance work that incorporates live voice, installation and film. I like using technology as a malleable material, testing & pushing it through live moments; from my earliest works playing super 8 films through my vagina, to recent works digitally tracking my body to live-edit sound. Through my work I often 'speak' of things silenced in daily life, or attempt to undo language used in mass media/ normative pop-culture. I make performance as an act of transformation, a catharsis through sound, a reclamation & refusal of the body.”
Bean is the co-founder and (former) co-director of ]performance s p a c e[.
