home vs hole

Original music by Nick Wilson performed by Nick Wilson and emmanuelle Waeckerle
camera – Barbara Nichols – sound recording – Tim Barker directed by Rachel davies – edited by Sue Giovanni

A singing contest starting in language and finishing in pure abstract tones in one continuous take.
Using their distinctive voices, a classically trained tenor and a performance artist share and compare their diverging interpretation of the two words HOME and HOLE – seeking meaning and common territory. Both find it difficult to accommodate each others voice. There is no easy outcome as questions of gender and inter-disciplinarity come into play and the video can only conclude once a truce is reached (outside language) and as the work unravels the two voices/channels slowly come together.
