Immersive Audiovisual performance
The performance unfolds around a single 39-minute fixed shot — landscape, urban street, natural element.
It does not narrate. It exists, transforms imperceptibly, constructs a temporal field. The same image may come from a personal archive or be generated site-specifically in the host city, creating a direct relationship with the context.
During the screening, the artist performs live, positioned in front of the screen. Video processing and live electronics transform both the image and the original soundscape of the recording in real time. Two autonomous languages: they share duration, not logic. No synchronisation, no mutual illustration. The viewer accesses two simultaneous independent streams.
The sound composition traverses drone density, minimalism, meditative states. Each performance is improvised: the same shot generates ever-changing performances. There is no single interpretation. The audience actively negotiates the space between seeing and hearing, within an unaccelerated duration, where silence and waiting become critical tools.
A performance where time becomes visible and audible matter.
A practice of resistance to the accelerated consumption of image and sound.
