It's the End of the World (as we know it)- Andi Campognone & Shana Nys Dambrot > FIRST PLACE: KAYE FREEMAN & AMY KAPS (aka Hibiscus TV) "No fear, cavalier renegade"
FIRST PLACE: KAYE FREEMAN & AMY KAPS (aka Hibiscus TV) "No fear, cavalier renegade"
Kaye Freeman & Amy Kaps (Hibiscus TV) No Fear, Cavalier Renegade
Jurors Andi Campognone and Shana Nys Dambrot review the first place image:
"Two shadows bearing musical instruments dance in defiance of the coming void. Their exaggerated silhouettes blur the line between cabaret and ritual, comedy and catastrophe—insisting that if the world must end, it will end in song. The image distills irony and poignancy with humor and gravity, reminding us that joy is a human instinct essential to survival.
Please describe your relationship to performance art."
Kaye Freeman/Amy Kaps: "We are conduits and use any means necessary. We have no limits and performance is one part of our oeuvre. Experimentation and simply doing is our method."
Jurors: "How does working as a duo differ from / fit into each of your individual practices?"
Kaye Freeman/Amy Kaps: "We each have different skills, techniques and aesthetics and work without ego. We choose a topic and go at it very organically with as little blood shed as possible. We work together and then separately yet simultaneously."
Jurors: "What are your favorite coping strategies for the polycrisis?"
Kaye Freeman/Amy Kaps: "For Hibiscus TV it is Dance, dance, dance..
For Kaye it is drawing, meditation and Oscar, the dog. For Amy it is cannabis, conversation, lap swimming, beach walks and the knowledge that she is born of Joy"

"Hibiscus TV is the convergence of two artistic minds: Kaye Freeman and Amy Kaps. Celebrating the imperfect in a world that demands perfection, we intentionally challenge the notions dictating what female artists over sixty can or should do.
Addressing climate change, consumerism, ageism, and inclusivity in a relatable, yet deeply moving and intelligent fashion. Utilizing universal archetypal mythologies and legends accessed by our varied backgrounds, we accentuate the symbiotic and collaborative kinship of society and nature and our impact on the ecosystem.
Free from convention, Hibiscus TV is a platform for unbridled creativity. Grounded in the absurd and authentic expression, we explore infinite possibilities. Each film or performance has minimal to zero narrative and, although topic-based, is beyond meaning, definition, and time. Creating our environments, costumes, props, puppets, and sounds according to each theme, Hibiscus TV is committed to using recycled and repurposed materials whenever possible.
The work is about the world we inhabit materially and metaphysically. A conversation between art and environment takes place as we witness phenomenal technological developments and exponential damage caused in our lifetime. Through the study of Art History, Philosophy, Religion, Psychology, and Science, we uncover the commonalities uniting us as a species."
