An exhibition brought to life by a 45-minute performance.

Infinite Stage is a dormant stage: the objects on display exist as sculptures, yet during the performance, they transform into scenography and props. The video works form the skeleton of the performance timeline, shaping its rhythm and progression.

At its core, Infinite Stage explores death and digitality. In post-capitalist society, the denial of death is deeply embedded in consumerism, preservation, and endless production. Today, technology elevates this denial to a new dimension: ghostbots, chatbots created from the emails, photographs, memories, and digital footprints of the deceased, allow the living to continue their dialogue with the dead.

The performance unfolds as a sequence of interconnected scenes weaving together live music, dance, readings, and video interactions. Aesthetically, Infinite Stage moves between Baroque density and quiet, meditative moments, maintaining a permanent tension between opulence and stillness.
