Imhof, Douglas and Bultheel adapted the songs from how they appeared in the exhibition ‘SEX’, with the result being a compelling record that can act as an imaginative accompaniment to the ‘SEX’ performances, as well as stand alone as a progressive collection of contemporary compositions. The concert itself becomes a visual language in Imhof’s performative work which sits evenly placed with her painting and sculpture.
