That Time (Samuel Beckett)
Video and sound installation based on a Samuel Beckett piece for recorded voice and a single performer. In a completely dark room the 'listener' is a diembodied head floating 12' above the floor. His eyes are open to begin with, then close as a voice comes to him from three directions. These are overlapping litanies of memory each in turn cutting off the other. They seem to be from three distinct periods of life. Both the voice and visual element of the piece operate at the threshold of perceptibility. The voice is a whisper, the minimal light focussed on the head causes it to shimmer as it burns a trace on the retina. (listener performed by Michael Fernandes)
