mutable bodies #1: soft-speaking

video (45’), 2020

In its digital form, this project comprises a single-take, unedited video clip capturing three complete repetitions of this installation’s 15-minute audio loop—the shortest possible time it takes for the loudspeaker to pass from a fully present to fully invisible state.

The video was conceived as a long-form observation of the object in its space, with viewers able to either listen to an audio loop in its entirety, or to watch different moments freely to observe the changes to sound, gesture and image over time.

0:00 audio loop 1
15:05 audio loop 2 (recommended if listening to only one audio loop in full)
30:05 audio loop 3
