| Description |
Exploring issues of liberty - and disobedience - CIVIL uses live performance, film, slides, original sound materials and music.
In 1996 Robert Pacitti travelled to New York to meet and spend time with author and raconteur, Quentin Crisp, in order to produce a new work that took Crisp's infamous autobiography The Naked Civil Servant as its starting point. Since Crisp's death the piece has undeniably shifted, and a work that set out to explore shared aspirations and joint activism now reads as a series of images and ideas placed in relation to notions of legacy.
