Earlier this year I worked with Japanese video artist Keisuke Takahashi to design the visuals for Superperfect. The international theatrical collaboration between Shopfront (Sydney) and Nibroll (Japan) explored success, failure and the constant struggle to be ‘better’. Shopfront has just posted a highlights reel from the Sydney season.
