video/sound, lumen prints and performance
Read through me were some texts that were about speaking/voice/language and I heard myself doing this reading to me. Inside somewhere – behind eyes/nose/mouth (in head?) – the reading through me about thinking about reading about speaking was voiced. I said it. I spoke it into another dummy (speech to text software) and they turned it back into writing. This writing returned to me, from me, and more re-reading/re-hearing/re-speaking took place. At some point a final text emerged. This text was used as a score to inform a video/sound work, a series of lumen prints and a live sound performance.
