Gabriel Massan’s Games of Reefs and Rain - Frieze

“Leaks can be good, however, when they signal the collapse of broken systems – and Gabriel Massan’s Continuity Flaws: Rumors of a Leak (2024)celebrates these fissures in the late-capitalist order.”

CONTINUITY FLAWS
by Gabriel Massan
-

Technical Direction and Animation in collaboration with Carlos Minozzi;
Original Soundtrack by Agazero and Lyzza;
SFX by Agazero.



Continuity Flaws’ draws on Massan’s love of DIY broadcasting and experimenting with the idea of the plenum, an assembly of all members of a group. Initially developed in 2023 in Paris and London between Gabriel’s residency at the Cité Internationale Des Arts with Art Explora, the work references Denise Ferreira da Silva’s publicationUnpayable Debt’ that heralds the end of the ‘known’ or ‘visible’ world and examines the relationship between coloniality, global capital and quantum entanglement; a phenomena where two subatomic particles can be intimately linked to each other even if separated by billions of light-years of space.


In this volatile transmission, lifeforms jump between islands: connecting, separating and reuniting again, in conversation with Ferreira da Silva’s notion of ‘Negative Accumulation’ as it describes repetitions of precariousness attributed to Black life. It simulates the environmental conditions that influenced the creation of the ‘Third World‘ videogame itself and shares multiple perspectives. 





Like you and me, others must have given themselves the benefit of the doubt. Where are they?
