SOMEOFMYVOCABULARY-4-holyours

A series of short performance videos focusing on the act of speaking as a performative and sonic gesture. In each I perform direct to camera one element of my vocabulary of non verbal vocal sounds – sounds that are both raw emotion (sighing, laughing, screaming, pleasure) and formalist images (pure tones). Each is tightly edited using as a measure of time the length of a breathing cycle.

In Holyours I offer the camera each of my facial orifice while singing “ a hole is a home is a hole is your home is my hole is your home “
In Blowjob, a playful video performance shot in one single take, I do exactly what the title implies, I blow suggestively into the tube of a recorder, improvising a monotonal melody. The framing only reveals the tube of the recorder and the upper part of my body seemingly undressed. The last frames offer a double take on the crude metaphore.
