Adam Brown's Orgone - Mechanical Tension
2003
Orgone: Mechanical Tension blends suburban forms, colors and fashion photography into a high-pop suburban cocktail. It references and explores the theoretical considerations of how we re-invent and recycle myths that embody new forms of spirituality and wishful fantasies.
Orgone: Mechanical Tension is a multi-faceted project that includes performance, videos, installations, and photographs. This new body of work explores Wilhelm Reich's theories of the existence and function of Orgone energy (the quintessential elixir and life force energy discovered by psychoanalyst and scientist Wilhelm Reich), the ancient myth of Isis and Osiris, and pop culture.
