Doppelgänger is the first performance and live DJ set in Italy by the Korean-American artist HASHIA presented in Turin thanks to the support of Associazione Bastione.
The event, curated by Antonella Prasse and Amina Berdin, was born from the desire to host the artist's research, centered on the themes of the sacred and the profane, in a peculiar place like that of Villa Rey.
HASHIA works through sound scenography, installations, music, DJ sets, poems and performances with the aim of investigating ancient mythologies, dreamscapes and ancestral memories. On the occasion of this event she presented Doppelgänger, an episode of the Hypermnesia series, in which he returns his dreams in the form of a sound experience. The performance premiered in 2021 at the Karlshorst Theater in Berlin as part of a collaborative project for Cashmere Radio.
