Synopsis

In the interactive performance of Blood is Sweeter Than Honey, the body of the performer is divided as with a butcher. Each of the eleven pieces of meat is dedicated to one of the artists who have fatal effects on the work of Tandem Eclipse, such as Annie Sprinkle, Marina Abramović, Richard Clayderman, Ron Athey, Pedro Almodovar, David Cronenberg, Madonna (whose song is also used as the background). By clicking on each piece, the corresponding choreography is activated. The performance mocks the genre of voyeur and authentic live streaming, it is a simulation of the early online peep show.
