CANADA COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS (2023/4) Respondents

 
Respondents (2024)
10:00 minutes, two screen installation, colour with surround sound.
Respondents is a performance, a film and four sonic sculptures developed by Rita Evans. The project includes a collaboration with dancer Marguerite Galizia, who engaged with Evans’ sculptures in her studio. In response to this interaction, Evans adapted her works, transforming them into choreographic objects. These sculptures explore and dialogue with air, plants, algae, ground, skin and water, making space for the untranslatable.

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/
