ARTISTIC POLICY Good cop bad cop creates art work for a variety of contexts and locations, combining skills in photography, video, performance and text. Drawing on both historical and contemporary themes and references, performances frequently push the performers’ physical endurance to their limits.
REVIEW EXTRACTS ‘The spectators are implicated in the discovery of the unknown within their familiar environment… A novel idea, the experience is unexpected and original.’ La Presse
