‘we haven’t yet talked about my imaginary friends, of which I have many’ is a series of durational performances that are based on improvisation, repetition, transients and resting. They use instruments such as flute, bass, synthesiser and vocals, sharing food, reading out books, sleeping. They amplify bodies of sound by using microphones, turning material into a shared living scenery, making room for oneself, to carry the space and be carried, to locate consciousness as a rehearsal// so I listen to the bones in my fingers crack , my intestines, my shoulders pressing into the matress.// As we lay down/ If I fall asleep, i’ll miss…without guilt/ our presence/ while I move in and out of focus, the sound persists.
