ON THE LINE
Site-Writing Oneself as Critical Spatial Practice2020, Audio-Text Performance, UCL, 31 minutes, 4000 words
In the troubled Spring of 2020, the world was overtook by a pandemic. Everyone, everywhere, are staying put, wherever they are. Our understandings of time, space and society are being redefined. This 3-Act audio text performance draws on diaries, correspondence and voice notes that have become essential during this time to record the echo of non-presence. It draws on notions of time, language, and what it means to be on the line, especially during this time. It documents the site-writing project as a process, one’s self as site, and how I arrived to (writing) it. Or, the journey of finding one’s voice.
This project was supervised by Jane Rendell, and was exhibited in the Site-Writing Exhibition ‘Refracted Sites’ as part of Bloomsbury Festival in London, 2020.
