Industries of Freedom

Privilege is the worlds largest EDM nightclub A hedonistic paradise in Ibiza where tourists and professional dancers live out both a collective and individual fantasy about freedom in an artificial setting Freja Sofie Kirk and Esben Weile Kjærs video work analyses the commercial logic deeply embedded in the promise of happiness and the desire upon which the entertainment industry is built Privilege is also a workplace where young employees have clear roles in the machinery The dancers bodies are transformed into scenographic objects which melt together in a gigantic choreography that includes cranes and a giant inflatable shark Industries of Freedom also looks at nightlife from the inside with the collective outofbody experience taking on a transformative and ecstatic aspect like a take on the great common rituals of our times
