Dirty Ghost & Max Clown was created as part of Jump Cut, a six-part cable-access-style web series of streamed collaborations between multidisciplinary international artists. Conceived by Dana Gingras of Animals of Distinction as a way to survive and thrive during COVID19 pandemic, Jump Cut was an opportunity to curate an unpredictable encounter between artists who were working in isolation. Each episode featured a unique combination of artists to create a multi-disciplinary collaboration to only be accessible as a unique online experience.

The inaugural episode featured Dana Gingras (Montreal), Sonya Stefan (Montreal) and Tot Onyx (Berlin). Restless and confined, they have created an eerie offering. Set in a lost space that leads nowhere, it is filled with disembodied and embodied presences that roam, taunt and multiply each other across planes.

Dana Gingras, Sonya Stefan and Tot Onyx (as group A) first collaborated in 2018 on the live performance piece, anOther. Set within the installation of televisions; sound, light and image converge to create an exhilarating event placing a living, breathing and transmuting body at the heart of the experience.
