hold, still
(2001)
Radio and web project for KunstRadio which included video and sound recordings of Evasion, The Release Into Motion, as well as presentation of Vito Acconci’s undoing, two short texts hold, still and two tracks from Escape Songs.
A series of static sound images. Series, as in separated continuity. Static, as in a state of impossibility. Sound, as in lack thereof. Images, as in what remains instilled. Hold still to holding on. Hold on to holding still. Nevertheless. Never the less. Sounds, despite lack. Static, oscillated arrest. Image, swallows in mouths. Series, a plural singular. The radio waves are stilled, standing waves. But still not very quiet.
From the impossibility of stillness to the tension of possession, from endurance to arrest, from the slightest twitch to the trembling tongue.
