Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
