Atmospheres
Atmospheres is an experimental, performance project that seeks to attend to a pluriverse of experience, realities, and atmospheres. What are the regions, where do they start and end? A place of myriad worldlings.
The body is a hinge between ecology and economy. A polyphony of voices slowly orbits around a singular microphone. Electricity is captured through plastic membranes suspended in the air. Post-industry leaves its heavy marks on the body. A car breakdowns between somewhere and no-where. A hole in the roof forms a spore mouth. Nostalgia flickers in patchy phone memories. A dragon fly broach wants to fly away. People come together to mop up the crisis.
Each iteration of Atmospheres is unique and specific to place, working with local communities. Seeping into new spaces and songs. Through extended listening and improvisational processes, a fragment emerges of entangled lifelines, ecologies, economies, memories, and temporalities. Through these intensives, we become grafted together and in doing so, become a chorus transmitting softly through one another. An antenna in the trees and a wire planted firmly in the ground.
A collaboration between Kristina Chan, Sophia Ndaba and James Hazel with local members of the community.
