What happens when film set, exhibition, and performance converge as equal equal sites of production?
Scott Clifford Evans develops his cinematic and installation-based projects in close collaboration with an extended network of artists. Filming becomes performative, where process and spontaneous decisions shape the outcome; sets become exhibition spaces, and collective production is the guiding artistic principle.

In the context of Splatterhaus!, the Vienna-based art historian, critic, and curator Brigitte Huck speaks with Evans and his long-time collaborators Alexandra Kahl and Georg Holzmann about a practice consistently grounded in collaboration. The artist talk offers insights into the creation of the installation Deathspa, exploring a practice that moves between horror cinema, camp aesthetics, and collective storytelling.A discussion on the exhibition as a narrative space, the productive tension between fiction and reality, and collaborative processes that rethink hierarchies and conceive artistic work as a form of social choreography.
