Monumental time and cyclical time bear conceptual significance in this performance. Chrissy Ralph and Johann Don-Daniel invite you to join them at Asylum Studios for a live performance work rooted in time, noise, and modes of communication. Focusing upon echoes of colonialism and parasitic domesticity the artists seek to use sound and movement to provoke discourse around language, communication, and marginalised voices.

Resonance plays a role through ripples of inception and ripples that continue to spread. Drums, sounds, movements, and visual concepts may voice concerns, taking the place of language for those whose voice is marginalised.

There will be a bastardisation of objects whose fossil-like (radioactive tracing), materiality will be cut through time. We will combine, them to create collapsing temporal portals. (Hameed, Gunkel and O’Sullivan on Deluze and Benjamin)

The performance will be filmed, and audio recorded. Experimentation with resonant sounds and productive disturbances will create a live work which will be projected back into the exhibition space during the following week. The work will continue to evolve over the course of the dates and allow for interactions, embracing the ideas of works in flux.

Provoking change requires noise as an integrated part of the system. It is going to be loud.

“Just do your work. And if the world needs your work it will come and get you. And if it doesn’t, do your work anyway.” Kiki Smith (2019)
