Description<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood and\/or metal construction, acoustic panels, simple straight-back chair, 7\u201d industrial HD flat screen, microphone stand, headphones, media player with activation switch, HD video (color, stereo sound, 3:10 min), and assorted cabling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proof edition of two and one artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Whisper Room<\/em> is an intimate encounter between the artist and each individual viewer through a personal recital. The installation reflects the place of its recording: a narration booth. One spectator at a time enters a small enclosed space lined with acoustic foam panels. Inside, there is a chair and a pair of headphones placed directly in front of a small video screen mounted on a microphone stand. Once the headphones are activated, the video either plays automatically or is started by the seated viewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video begins from the point of view of someone slowly opening a door and entering a small space (the narration booth) with a single microphone on a stand. The camera slowly approaches the microphone and frames its spherical grille. The sphere holds center stage, floating throughout the duration of the video. It is as if the viewer were gently asked to speak, to be present, to remain there, while a disembodied voice accesses a kind of imaginary place\u2014strangely close\u2014where contact might occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transcription<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: The same text was first used in The Slow Torque of Bonsai, 2017 in which each line is spoken approximately 20-30 sec apart accompanied by a single pulse from several linked strobe lights. In The Whisper Room, the delivery is closer to that of a typical recitation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes
<\/em>As we approach
<\/em>Others approaching
<\/em>An imaginary point coalesces
<\/em>Before us
<\/em>Our past trajectories
<\/em>All the protagonists
<\/em>All of a sudden
<\/em>Amongst us
<\/em>Resurrected as it were
<\/em>Our whereabouts
<\/em>The involuntary inventory begins
<\/em>Sampled earth
<\/em>Unknown holes
<\/em>Literal things too numerous to name
<\/em>Reminiscent of ancient signs
<\/em>Too sober to absorb
<\/em>The slow torque of bonsai
<\/em>The warmth of what once was
<\/em>Just enough
<\/em>Fades away
<\/em>Alone in the light
<\/em>Abandoned wood avails itself
<\/em>I brought you here for reasons I can\u2019t disclose
<\/em>I\u2019ve worked long hours for this
<\/em>There is no particular agenda in mind
<\/em>Nothing here will make or break
<\/em>Anything
<\/em>You, them, or I
<\/em>Each and every one
<\/em>Like tormented insects
<\/em>By the end it will not matter
<\/em>Or you will have forgotten
<\/em>The differences once sworn by
<\/em>I hesitated
<\/em>Before deciding
<\/em>Not to be present
<\/em>No doubt, a compromise
<\/em>I apologize
<\/em>Do you remember?
<\/em>The bed
<\/em>The island
<\/em>The refuge
<\/em>The swollen details
<\/em>Shared memorabilia
<\/em>Human propaganda
<\/em>The fact that you are here
<\/em>Has that dawned on you?
<\/em>But don\u2019t go
<\/em>I wish there were a way
<\/em>For you to smell my belly for the first time
<\/em>All over again
<\/em>I could stand before you
<\/em>Peer down at the crown of your head
<\/em>We could have gone to see a film
<\/em>Committed to the tedium of plagiarized time
<\/em>Enabling our being together
<\/em>Within our separate thoughts
<\/em>Would it suffice?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
