‘Most grandmothers read fairy tales to their grandchildren. Mine would put me to bed with stories about unidentified audio events and facts about auditory perception.’
Her Voice
2019 6’ stereo
Abandoning the cinematic widescreen whilst anticipating the agency of the ghost rising, Her Voice foresees the peripatetic gallery viewer, perusing, pausing or trailing through. The film investigates notions of Maskirovka, a military strategy of deception through surprise, simulation and camouflage. Her Voice also works on a level of Maskirovka - as one of the intrinsic qualities of animation is that it confesses from the start that this has never been real before, not until it is played out.
