Primal Scream, Vanessa Albury and Marthe Ramm Fortun New York 2007




"Vanessa Albury and Marthe Fortun’s Primal Scream (2007) is an outcry that has neither a clear target nor a hope for change – it simply marks the current state of affairs. The work is presented as an audio piece as well as a muted double projection that maps the sites of several interventions on 28 February 2007, when Albury and Fortun performed a single loud scream at a selection of random public spaces within the city of New York. This was a disruption fully conscious of its futility, but nevertheless an act that expresses an underlying and suppressed sensation that seems omnipresent within contemporary society." 
Anna Gritz, Frieze Magazine Online 2008
