BODY OF REVERBS

New ritual for contemporary bodies

A contemporary ritual where tattoo turns into sound.

B.O.R. is a sonified and amplified tattoo. A free improvisation for tattooer and musician.

A technique of subjective reconfiguration through pain, sound and a permanent mark on the body.

" It seems fitting that Michele Servadio has based himself in Hackney, stomping ground of seventies industrial gods Throbbing Gristle. Since then most of London, and indeed the Western World, seems more sanitized and commercial. Tattooing included. Body of Reverbs takes tattooing back to it’s scary, primal roots. These Aktions speak of a Neolithic past, dark and violent. Sacrificial bodies in a cave of doom, noise and pain in cathartic crescendo. Long live the new flesh! "
