Reminiscent of a fairy junkyard or an apocalyptic carnival, Conscious Systems is a theatrical externalisation of the Tarot de Marseille and Stephenson's pain-colour synesthesia. Stephenson manipulates objects, materials and things in hopes of generating conversation surrounding metamorphosis, seduction, violence and rebirth.
