TЯUTH
​Galerie Mitterrand, Paris, France

On view from March 26 to May 18, 2024

For the first presentation of TЯUTH in France, Miles Greenberg introduces us to a new reading of a performance first presented in New York in 2023 and unveiled as a video installation in the spring of 2024 at Buro Stedelijk in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Presented as part of a new iteration of the original eponymous performance, this new work documents the impressive 7-hour-long battle of eight sword-wielding performers painted in black oil, dueling in a volcanic, vermillion-colored pool. Their intentions are unclear, the setting of a pool of red water, difficult to situate in space and time. The sword emerges, simultaneously, as the evidence of violent impulses and an unexpected symbol of righteous rule. TЯUTH​ implicates the viewer’s body in the fabric of the installation, immersing their senses within a soundtrack composed by Chino Amobi. With this new work, Greenberg sets out to challenge the boundaries between performance art, sculpture, and installation art in a highly immersive way.
