0000-00-00 by Softrot X Trevoga

0000-00-00 doesn’t fear the end of the world, but a world that never quite ends. COKO Happening 0000-00-00 By Trevoga x Softrot 0000-00-00 is Softrot’s solo performance developed with Trevoga. Through heavily processed vocals, comfort clothes, soft hexes, and disorienting dramaturgy, 0000-00-00 captures Softrot mid-molt. Like an insect whose new exoskeleton hasn’t hardened, her world is unstable, suspended between incomplete images, worst-case scenarios and everyday rituals stuck on repeat. Her softness means she can only move wrongly. Inflected by Trevoga’s fascination with grim aesthetics and algorithmic alienation, the work turns this suspended state into a condition rather than an exception. What happens when the act of becoming hardens into logistical obligation, when transformation ceases to promise renewal and becomes continuous labor instead? 0000-00-00 doesn’t fear the end of the world, but a world that never quite ends. Productive exhaustion, curdled into optimized deterioration. Where every attempt at repair extends what is already wearing away. Simply continuing because there is no protocol for stopping. ABOUT THE ARTISTS Softrot Softrot is the artistic moniker of Antonina Pushkareva, an Amsterdam-based performance artist and musician working across movement, music and installation. Her practice captures the body between decay and hallucinated continuity—always reconstructed from references, preserved and consumed. In 0000-00-00, Softrot brings her performance and music practices together, developing a live world around a self-produced EP made in collaboration with music producer Damiaan Steyn Trevoga Trevoga is an Amsterdam-based choreography label and community of artists who resist convention: dreamers, doomers and affect aliens drawn towards tensity. Trevoga means anxiety. Here, unease is not a metaphor but a tangible medium, channelled through genre-unstable performance works that pull apart the emotional and cultural debris of our time. Rooted in peer-to-peer production and collaboration, Trevoga develops works with artists within its orbit, moving between cultural institutions and contexts of electronic music, fashion and DIY culture.
