How to Experience a Non-Time?
Through a durational performance, we enter a floating sound space, composed of recordings from other times, hidden sounds from where we are, and others created through the modulation of electric currents.
By attentively listening to multiple worlds—either in unison or intertwined—the sculpting of frequencies becomes the unique point where moments fuse.
Without external references, many have lost structural memories within these spaces.
What are we without the stories that shape us and surround us?
What kinds of energies arise within us when there are no boundaries between who we are and what happens through the act of simply listening?
