FIGHT is a multi-channel installation exploring themes of consenting violence being a result of class oppression. It looks at how a society focused on neoliberal ideals can destroy communities and breed fear.

The Fight project was originally created for an installation premiering at the DYSPLA International Moving Image Festival, London 2018. The project has now been adapted for other media such as a series of films and a forthcoming audio visual performance with electronic musician Swayzak.
Shot at the Supreme Boxing Club in Enfield, North London, DYSPLA and D-Fuse worked with non actors to create a dual screen poetic documentary. Working with no script, filming a diverse range of persons in everyday society including a 14-year- old english white girl, a slovenian boy, and a Turkish immigrant, conveying a sense of diversity overcoming barriers of race, age, and gender. Fight focuses on the under-represented and the underdogs in society, striving to achieve or struggling to overcome their fears and dreams. The Supreme Boxing Club itself gives them a sense of belonging, maybe this belonging is the ‘community’ they crave.
FIGHT 2 As an experiment into defining the Neurodivergent Aesthetic DYSPLA directed FIGHT 2, using the same rushes of FIGHT. We wanted to look at two pieces of work by two ND artists using the same source material to see if it would help us define the ND_aesthetic.
FIGHT 2 looks at consenting violence at the hands of patriarchal oppression. We combine a speech by Margaret Thatcher with an interview with a 15-year-old British/Lithuainian Boxer, Gratis. Fight is a collaboration between DYSPLA and D-Fuse.
