Work Overview

I was fascinated by the vertical structure of the text, that suggested a static, intensive state. Out of this came an acoustic realisation, a 'sounding' of the letters, whereby each shortening of the words can be understood as a morse code. The performer embodies the transitive moment of the step: a frozen time, in which her voice takes a journey.
