ARCHIPEL

Lecture performance with objects and stereo sound, 13’, DE

In her lecture performance ARCHIPEL (German for archipelago), Sáile opens up hybrid spaces between memory and collective identity, critically weaving together philosophical and emotional layers to create speculative visions of the future.

Excerpt of transcript (voice over):

Schließen wir die Augen, bleibt das Meer. Öffnen wir sie, für einen Augenblick, erscheint das Meer durch uns hindurch.

[Closing our eyes, the sea remains. Opening them, for a blink of an eye, the sea appears through us.]

 

Selected quote inspired by philosopher Byung Chul-Han’s ABWESEN.
