A composition for granular presence (15’)
2023
This site specific composition for multichannel sound and light is a scene exploring the qualities of its space and different modes of relating. The piece invites to explore the edges of one's perception.
It creates a time and a space in which affects can be embraced as they occur. The work brings you to where you can tap into the more granular areas of your attention, listening and presence.
“We’re not allowing ourselves to fully experience darkness, but you create a space for that - beautiful”
“It has such a strengh - this profound darkness.
It generates a constant feeling of something is coming.
You are basically waiting for it, the whole time something is coming towards you...”
“The transitions are so smooth, you are suddenly in it, at all stages - that’s very beautiful”

The blueprint of the work lets me adapt it to different spaces and circumstances. The piece existed in three different settings so far.
