Simon Bus - Febris

Febris

By Simon Bus

With Febris breakdancer Simon Bus makes a declaration of love to fever. "My first hallucinatory experience," Simon says of the fever dreams he had as a child. "Panic and fear with, in contrast, the intense and bizarre intoxication of delirium. Oppressive and liberating."

In Roman mythology, Febris is the goddess who embodies fever. Together with B-boy Roy Overdijk (The Ruggeds), Simon surrenders to her powers. While bathed in fever sweat, in sweltering intimacy and a mental space full of psychedelic images, their limbs double before our eyes.
