The hour-long production, entitled The Neck is a Bridge to the Body, places the focus on the guitar itself, the Instrument serving as an ontological tabula rasa in a creation myth unlike any other ever presented.
Glowing Pictures – known for their work with such artists as Animal Collective, David Byrne & Brian Eno, Beastie Boys, and TV On The Radio – collaborated with Kaki King and have re-conceived The Guitar as a screen for a remarkable range of new digital projections.
