2023–2024 COMMISSION: mirrored fatality
Boss Witch Productions was created to establish a sustainable, artist-driven infrastructure for the creation of experimental, site-specific work. Through commissioning new work, we are highlighting the voices of artists integral to our community, especially those aligned with our focus on experimental sound art, ritual performance, video art, and transmedia collaboration within natural landscapes and unusual performance space.
Boss Witch commissions provide monetary support through an artist fee and a stipend for materials. We also offer non-monetary support in the form of event production, documentation, and regular meetings for mentorship in ideation, production, project finance, grant writing, and more.
our 2023–2024 commission IS a 2022–2023 collaboration with mirrored fatality.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
mirrored fatality remembers wholeness from dismembered flesh and mutates as cross pollinating perennial terratoids.
mirrored fatality intertwines glitch rage webs with corroded resonance and regenerates forsaken spores across their current biome: ECOCIDE 3URTH.
mirrored fatality is an underground interdependent Kapampangan and South Asian xenotr@nsbinary experimental noise punk farmer duo combining performance art, music, spoken word, film, photography, sculpture, upcycled garments, anti-imperialist education, and healing justice practice spaces to mobilize a warrior community responding to transnational calls-to-action for mutual aid, land sovereignty, and prison abolition.
They have toured across Turtle Island (United States of America), Europe, United Kingdom, Mexico, and Thailand. As farmers and artists, mirrored fatality has completed residencies with Buttermilk Falls Residency, Postcrypt Gallery, EFA Project Space, Dead Bedland, Earthlodge Center for Transformation West and South, Star Route Farm, Esalen Institute, Isis Oasis Sanctuary, AADK Spain, Calafou, Baesianz x hatezine at SET Woolwich, University of the Underground, Tour de Moon, Nelly Ben Hayoun Studios, The Uhuru Dreamhouse New Orleans, Fancyland, Habitable Spaces, and Prattsville Art Center and Residency.
They have taught lectures, workshops, and thesis presentations with University of California Los Angeles, University of California Berkeley, California State University of Long Beach, University of Arizona, University of California Riverside, University of Kansas, University of Illinois, University of Texas at Austin, New York University, and Columbia University.
In 2022, mirrored fatality released a remastered version of their COCOON WEBS EP with Aklasan Records, their film VALE on Get Better Records, and their film EARTHBODY(S)_BIOME(TRICS) on Tour de Moon, Nowness Asia, and they screened at the London Short Film Fest 2023 at the British Film Institute and Rich Mix London. mirrored fatality released their singles “REINCARNAGE”, “VALE”, “BIOME(TRICS)”, and “PRIMALDIAL MAGMA” on their EP ECOCIDE 3URTH with Cherub Dream Records.
In 2023, they will release their debut 12-track album on Getter Better Records and Psychic Eye Record and are in post-production of their short film “PRIMAL_DIAL_MAGMA_ZYG_MUT_TROPH_OOZE.” They will perform their multidisciplinary ECOCIDE 3URTH biome as Outsider Art Finland Festival’s artists-in-residence during their Summer Europe 2023 tour. In Fall 2023, they will be completing an artist residency with Konvent Puntzero Residency Barcelona.
As Boss Witch Productions Commission for 2023-2024 mirrored fatality will curate a live biohacking and transmutation installation performance where mirrored fatality’s techno-bodies activate as a multispecies of animals, biomimetic terratoids, and transhumans in their immersive biome LABUAD MEKLOOQ. This performance mobilizes Glitch TransFeminist lore as calls-to-action against transphobia, settler colonialism, climate catastrophe, and surveillance capitalism. mirrored fatality experiments with decolonial regeneration as their voice and movement triggers a live Kapampangan and Urdu experimental noise score, projected multi-channel motion capture systems, 3D animation, and interactive mixed reality video art. As Outsider Fest 2023-2025 artists-in-residence, they will perform a multimedia ritual theater installation performance at Outsider Fest 2025 in Austin, Texas.
