And You Were Wonderful, On Stage

Published on the occasion of Cally Spooner’s 2018 exhibition DRAG DRAG SOLO at the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, this booklet contains the script, scores, a text, and visuals of And You Were Wonderful, On Stage, along with an interview of the artist by Hendrik Folkerts.

And You Were Wonderful, On Stage (2013–15) is a work which has more in common with a live choreographic event than cinema. In this five-channel installation, a musical is shot in a single take. A chorus line gossip about celebrities, athletes, and politicians who outsourced their performance to a technology, whilst a marketing practice is quoted in which employees’ words and voices are tweaked to TV-commercial perfection.
