long before expanding to its current form, Angel Meat was
a performance project by Bertram Dhellemmes.

Angel Meat is based on a feedback between artistic research and
the established rock subculture that is the main background of
western people. Art being for one century busy defining itself in
its successive modern/postmodern/hypermodern manifestations,
pop culture has been left dealing with big issues such as death,
sexuality, love or metaphysic – often awkwardly, but now it's today's
mythology.
A multimedia work in progress, Angel Meat opens up this mythical
universe with the strategies of informal experimental performance art.

This piece for dance and potential music takes place in the stage
set of a rock concert, but though all the instruments are plugged
and in order to produce sound, they can just faintly capture the
sounds of a violent and dark dance.
Angel Meat is also a film project, and will develop into a video series, urban installations, comic books, internet sites, etc...
