More than a century after the anarchic DADA art movement emerged in Zurich as a response to global chaos, we again find ourselves struggling to make sense of the many conflicts and ecological crises we are living through.
In the spirit of DADA, 'The Perfect Number' travels in free-flow and touches on: dreams and visions, other living beings who eat grass, brutality and survival, trees fighting back, the history of photography, concrete underfoot, how to pose, the sound of plastic, the wrong clothes, confused golfers and the centre of the world.
Along the way we meet First Nations political activist Milton Born With A Tooth, the first female Chief of the Cherokee Nation, Wilma Mankiller, The Admiral Motel gone to seed, Zeus, and the DADA poets and founders of the Cabaret Voltaire, **Emmy Hennings and Hugo Ball.
“Each thing has its word, but the word has become a thing in itself.” Hugo Ball
