In a time when multi-hyphenated careers are commonplace and avant-garde movements have been smoothly co-opted by a process of commodification and commercialization, it is difficult to separate or tease out the actual threads of true creativity and grit. Where much of the art, music and entertainment worlds have combined and coalesced into a throbbing, teeming mass of pop culture, marketing, over-stimulation and over-consumption, Charlotte De Cock —painter, photographer, filmmaker, DJ, music & event producer— is a breath of fresh air.
And now she has multiplied herself into more personalities, changing one’s appearance very often…hen tai kyaku shutsu. When roughly translated word for word, it means ‘changing one’s appearance one hundred times’. Hen tai (変態 / へんたい) means ‘transformation’ or ‘metamorphosis’ and kyaku shutsu (百出 / きゃくしゅつ) means ‘arise in great numbers’.
Meet her many facets:
GOGO YUBARI
As Mars retrogrades through the ninth house of wisdom and exploration, Gogo Yubari lands on earth with one purpose, and one purpose only: futsukayoi or 日酔い / ふつかよい .
As a forever student she pounds hard techno to meme techno to trance and with the anti-establishment spirit of punk, DIY mentality and humor she’ll leave you drunk for days.
CARLOS
Meet Carlos. Fierce, little & cocky… with a peculiar taste in music which he showcases under the name D.J.S.O.R.R.Y. even though he’s everything but sorry.
Trying to find a way to avoid your own bullshit? Then there is no better pastime than Carlos & his ultra-mega shits of bull. Don’t be shocked once returned back into your normal lives feeling slightly infatuated: this is how the Carlos works.
DAOUD
Creates stories that express her raw core & inner fire into vibrations and rhythms which enlighten the soul & literally lift up the spirit with wild, untamed earthly rhythms.
CHARLOTTE DE COCK
Being a true music aficionado Charlotte seeks to unite her full being into one musical journey.
It is tempting to think of Charlotte as a contemporary shaman, opening a portal to our hazily remembered primal motivations.
