Linger on me #5

This mantra was sung by Beya Gille Gacha, Fleur Gille Gacha, Eléa Jeanne Schmitter, Macha Pangilian and myself. I deeply thank them for their collaboration. The mantra took shape after an hour of recording, inventing our own language, each voice adapting to the others. The chant occurred intuitively, through time.

I Need To Tell You Something, mantra, 2021

'She breathes the cold clear water in' was composed after the poem 'Ophelia, The Queen of Denmark' by Margie Orford and accompanied with the voice of Hannah Walton and mine.

It takes part in a sound installation of the same name, first exhibited at Duplex, in Lisbon, in February 2022.

‘My breath is inside you’ took part in a sound installation of the same name and was first exhibited at Duplex AIR, in Lisbon. 

The public  is invited to enter in room of the appearance of a bathroom to listen to a breathing that evolves through time. The breathing is heard very intimately as it is diffused by a pair of speakers surrounding the visitor. 

I wanted this breathing to be ambiguous, where we can’t decipher its state: is this person breathing feeling ok?

The moments we hear a breathing tend to be situations of shared intimacies. In that way this works talks about empathy.

How does this breathing affect you?
How does a space, a sound make you feel?

Thank you to Francis Portugal for her curation and insights, Susana Rocha for kindly welcoming us, Duplex and Afonso.
