1:1 is proud to present SOFTROCK, a cycle of short videos by the collaborative duo Actually Huizenga and Socrates Mitsios. SOFTROCK brings the hyper-aesthetic bacchanalia of Flaming Creatures into the early 21st century. Their saturated, highly pixilated videos and elaborate layering produce a haptic glamour. In the artists terms, this work attempt to: “present the ritual of relationships. But these relationships grow through increasingly ominous and chaotic sexual encounters. Pain is a constant threat, but it will always be offered to the viewer as decorative and fashionable entertainment, shamelessly pleasing to the eye.” Through a mixture of jagged cutting and melodic soundtrack SOFTROCK creates is own distinct form of televisual-Rococo—turning generations of media-saturated sex into an atmospheric synthesis.

To celebrate the premiere of SOFTROCK III, 1:1 has transformed itself into an erotic chapel of sorts, complete with red velvet pews and pale pink lighting.

August 25th will feature performances by Actually with special guest Cody Critcheloe (Ssion), House of Ladosha.
