ACT 1 (This is the End). Scene 9
For the next three weeks our new experimental performance collective, Al Límite, will be posting artistic responses to collected texts from artists from around the world, all responding to the same prompts. This week is from the section: "This is the End of.."
This piece is a song made in ONE DAY by Brad Hamers @bradhamers , captured on video by @jdaugh
The piece is inspired by the text of Alex Campbell who is currently a political prisoner at Rikers Island.
“THIS IS THE END OF... ...the early weird years.”
Music & Vocals by: Brad Hamers
The lyrics are from a poem titled, Twisted in the Cord (Delete Heard ‘round the World) from Brad’s upcoming book, The Humming Prole.
Video by: JDaugh
This is the end of... This is the continuation of... This is the beginning of...
Over the course of the next few weeks, our collective invites anyone who wishes to respond to the text with a micro-art piece of their own. Check out the link on the Al Límite page to select your favorite text from over 40 artists around the world to use in your own piece.

This piece is a hand-cut paper collage and a micro-ambient headphone score made by @bradhamers (Brad Hamers)
(video editing by JDaugh)
With @allimitecollective we’ve been creating micro-art pieces inspired by text gathered from artist friends around the world. From our next Act: “This is the Continuation of...” I chose the words of wonderful Italian artist @elena_griggio (Elena Griggio) :
“This is the continuation of the act of drinking, of swimming, of letting go. what was before frightening us to death is now nourishing.”
Please join us in this collaborative experiment and create your own micro-art piece in any medium. Start by choosing text from Act 1 or 2 on our website: https://www.allimitecollective.com/
