20 Seconds is proud to present the latest in a series of concerts celebrating the release of the 20 Seconds Issue 4. Please join us on Tuesday, 9 August, 2022 at Morphine Raum in Berlin for an evening of performances exploring experimentation.

The audiovisual performance project ZO melds the worlds of artists Tarik Barri and Lea Fabrikant. Employing pioneering software, which reinterprets space, time and movement in a live context, along with voice, electronics and visuals, ZO treads the fine lines of the triangle of research, deconstruction and electronic exploration through a new visual reality.

Poet, performer and researcher Pedro Oliveira grounds his work in a number of themes, but the most prominent are the concepts of sonic violence and its correspondence with identity. Oliveira has researched topics such as Germany’s use of technology in screening asylum applicants, the culture of sonic violence and identity in Brazil as well as the history of recording accents in the early 20th century in order to demonstrate and apply the limits of oppressive sonic identification through performance.

Juxtaposing the possibilities of both analogue and digital media, Pedro Maia is committed to a spirit of experimentation across his multidisciplinary body of work. Although primarily a filmmaker, the images of the Berlin-based Portuguese artist reveal themselves in a range of forms, such as photo books to accompany album releases, live visuals for experimental music performances and films to be exhibited in the cinema, in both feature and avant-garde formats.​​​​​​​​
