~ (…) ~ (2020)
Original Score : Jeff Mann
Choreography : Joe Denny
“Each of us, in relation to the other, is both subject and object, sensible and sentient… Even an ant crawling along my arm, visible to my eyes and tactile to my skin, displays at the same time its own sentience, responding immediately to my movements, even to the chemical changes of my mood. In relation to the ant I feel myself as a dense and material object, as capricious in my actions as the undulating earth itself. “ -David Abram (Spell of the sensuous)
A short film exploring the intersection between human and insect touch. A close-up journey of human skin, seen as landscape from the scale of an ant.
(( ~M~ )) (2022)
“The pictographic glyph or character still referred, implicitly, to the animate phenomenon of which it was the static image; it was that worldly phenomenon, in turn, that provoked from us the sound of its name. The sensible phenomenon and its spoken name were, in a sense, still participant with one another…
When we ponder the early Semitic aleph-beth, we readily recognize its pictographic inheritance… The name of the Semitic letter mem is also the Hebrew word for “water”; the letter, which later became our own letter M, was drawn as a series of waves…” David Abram (Spell of the Sensuous)
(( ~M~ )) is A short film exploring the haptic sensation of fluidity. A non-native exploration of an encounter between a body in water and a body of water.
