“In contrast to the preceding visual excesses was Cecile Feza Bushidi’s stark yet sensual X1. Cast in monochrome, X1 began with a tentative exchange between Bushidi and her shadow and grew into a lithe solo, at times both robotic and balletic. At first intrusive, after a while the soundtrack’s beats became so absorbed into the rhythm of movement they were no longer noticeable. The overall effect was detached and urban; the androgynous sensuality that underlay the piece saved it from an alienating minimalism.”
