By treating listening as a plastic and ever-shifting material, creating a space of persistence where temporalities, affects and intensities begin to waver, That’s twisted blurs the boundaries of time and perception. Driven by his nostalgia for the pop anthems of the 2010s — tinged with nihilism and a joyful fatalism in the face of anxiety about an uncertain future — the piece is rooted in a contemporary melancholy that Baptiste Cazaux seeks to transcend.
Through a collage of dances and sounds from different eras, he creates a hybrid space where gestures, music and noises distort, overlap and collide, like a DJ scratching in the middle of a track. In this psychedelic and sensual drift, moving between the intimate and the social, memory and confusion merge, revealing a shifting landscape made of echoes, fragments and ever-changing presences.
