Summary: 
Shifter! (US term referring to the gear lever in manual transmission) works with the specific qualities of each material and body as a form of research, to focus on deviation, where sculptural situations and action are articulated in performative environments.
“Resistance, the tension between flexibility and mass, inertia, the effort a body can support, or material fatigue prior to breakage, are understood as living forces whose encounters are capable of activating performativity in their materiality”, as explained by the creator.
