Help Phone / Au bout du fil (audio in progress 2015)


Sound installation with interactive telephone, playing eerie guitar, foot steps in the rain, and calls for help. The six minute sound track plays on loop in the receiver, with an added mechanism to make the phone ring randomly, inciting participants from the public to pick up.

Movement in Still Places_vidéo stills from performance / vidéo poem_ 2015 
Solo performances filmed in open spaces, where I document myself, throwing locally foraged debris from behind sculptural aspects of the landscape (bushes, gravel hill, snow bank, tall grass). Subtitles appear at the bottom of the scenery: I want to move you like poets do, like mountains do from standing still. A commentary on human appropriation of space, this documentation/ ephemeral series questions prescriptive approaches and the objectification of the material world through science, technology, art and philosophy.
