In Spite of the Score
Film & Participatory Installation
2023
In Spite of the Score considers the potential of listening as a queer act, one that is embodied and situated in identity and addresses an understanding of queerness as an ephemeral possibility and mode of sociality and relationality. Sound always continues to change and react to a space in relation to what is present, allowing for many potential connections and perceptions.
A video between performance and documentary, the project brings attention to the experience of collective and embodied listening, sounding, and transmission.
