Keep the music for yourself

The Music begins in the shape of a sphere; an eye, a planet, a stress ball. A glass ball slips from my hands and falls onto the ground, beginning to roll around a house, my house. It travels across desks and floors. It moves through rooms without pause, registering surfaces and scenes. They are encountered sequentially, without emphasis. The camera follows. The view is partial, curved, distorted, and inverted. The lens magnifies minor shifts in texture and light, producing a compressed field of view that resists orientation. The inhabited space is recorded through contact and motion rather than description. A solitary act is exposed and made available to others.
The house is mapped through circulation rather than narrative. Domestic objects appear as mere reflections of themselves. This space is neither documented nor staged; it is re-entered and re-seen.
Parcan20 spotlights diffuse light in a restrained manner, accommodating the quiet nature of the works. Their function is permissive rather than directive. The smaller Parcan16 fixtures, the smallest of the stage lights, are known as birdies. These ones are called The Birds.
