Tension Sets, 2013

















Tension Sets, is a 6-channel video and sound work that uses the sound of the amplified voice in performance, as both a literal (technical) and speculative force of change within the videos. The documentation of the performance is treated as separate to the event itself and taken up as a space in which to speculate about the capacity of the voice to effect, move or engage with its surrounding environment through visual and digital form.
