WAI8
long- durational
Ordering of time refutes spatial agency and temporal autonomy, thus reproducing uniformity and linearity to time, altering the understanding of reality and political engagement with it. WAI8, an 8 hour durational performance, configures spatial-temporal unmapping by negotiating movement, body, time, and space. Positions of liminality are brought to the surface rendered by enveloping and dissociative sounds, field recording, and noises as actual events experienced by (own) body. WAI8 is an invitation and extension to listening with a radical openness to the interstices and the in-between — a fracturing of timelines and spatial agency.

What lies within the interstices and teh inbetweens of movement and stillness? What possibilities emerge from that liminal sace of what has been and what is to come ?
Positions of liminality are brought to the surface, rendered by enveloping dissociative sounds, field recordings, and noises as actual events experienced by the body through the sonic work by KMRU. In this exhibition, we are taken on monifold journeys as invitations to experience the artists inner and physical movements through deep listening.
The Sonic Pieces resounding from different spaces in the exhibition are excerpts from WAI8, an 8hour durational performance, in which KMRU configures spatial-temporal unmappings by negotiating movement, body, time and space. This fractured timeline offers listeners the ability to dwell in the liminalities of uncertain and the possible.
