CANADA COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS Respondents

Respondents (2024)

Respondents is a project that includes performance, film and sonic-sculptures (Shield/Armour, Exoskeleton, Limpet and Mermaid) that invite close listening to elements sonically captured beyond the range of human hearing. Constructed in a hand shaping process used in custom automobile manufacturing and sensor technology, these sculptures explore and dialogue with organic elements such as air, algae, ground, skin and water.

Performed by dancer Marguerite Galizia.

Writing about the project by Rita Evans and Patrick Farmer has been published on the Sonic Art Research website here: https://www.sonicartresearch.co.uk/rita-evans-respondents/
