No. 01The InvitationHolographic foil, perforated stub
This one
is for you.
A little magic. A beautiful commotion.
RUMPUS! is one night of house music and art, made by Kiara for the people who were there along the way. Afro house, baile funk, disco funk and groovy house, in rooms built to be looked at as much as danced in. There is no door sale and no second list. This invitation was printed for one person, and you are holding it.

Tear the stub along the perforation. Take hold of it on the card and pull it away.

Hall of Eyes
The way in is a corridor that looks back. Hundreds of eyes, painted, mirrored and lit, and every one of them follows you through.
- 02
The Fortune Teller
Sit down, show your hands, take a card. It tells you how you will dance tonight, and it is rarely wrong.
- 03
The Floor
One room, one booth, Kiara. Afro house into baile funk into disco, and then the groove that does not let go.
- 04
The Afterglow
The morning after, delivered: the photographs and the recording of the set, sent to the people who were in the room.
No. 03Hall of EyesContact sheet, halftone and thermal
They saw
you come in.
Twenty-four frames from the first room. Move, and watch them move.
The Hall of Eyes is how the night begins. You walk in alone, the door closes behind you, and the walls are already looking. Glitter, mosaic, mirror, paint. By the far end you have stopped checking who is watching, which is the point.
