about

An eight-channel sound piece is installed behind the curtain of the space. I experiment with different ways of distorting field recordings that I made during my quarantine in China. I recorded verbal vocals of myself as recurrent samples in the work, featuring the most often used english words in news industry. The samples are played by machine-determined speakers to cover the room with voices that are constantly changing its direction of source. It creates a fiction where the voices were communicating with each other in an uncanny situation. It creates disorientation, and a situation of lost in the intangible discourse of social and historical contemplations.

‘The lights and the atmosphere are focusing and calming, but also challenging sensory perception. Do you remember how it felt listening to this voices, singings and chants? For me when you talked about it, I visualised something like a chorus, like chants or prayers in a way. The object referring much to smth. auratic producing a monumental gesture by a minimal one. Relating the object to your body, the materiality to our understanding of power and dissent. Sounds religious but I think it could be really strong to mimic smth in between anarchic, restoring collective power and freeing the inner voice, self etc..’(Arhun)
