Akin to the Hurricane

Sound Performance

2018 - Current

​

To interrogate the impossible complex that exist within the hyper-visibility and invisibility of the Black body, Hilario-Reyes utilizes the aesthetics of Carnival to generally take on a satirical approach that undermines said complex. The invisibility of the masquerade and the hyper-visibility of its spectacle allows for a necessary subversion to really materialize this dichotomy.

Akin to the Hurricane is a continuous iterative series of performances, that began in Spring 2018. Initially starting off as an Instagram/Facebook live take over then later progressed into a series of impromptu sound performances. Taking on many forms, this performance has been quite adaptive to the spaces its acted upon.
