2010, sound installation, 7 minutes
The Burden is a sound and mirror installation designed for an audience of one. The soundtrack is made up almost entirely of vocals, all sung by the artist, layered and processed. The listener hears an individual trapped at the threshold of making an I-statement, caught in the infinite complexities of this word, traveling through the vast pleasures, lamentations and solitudes of the ego. The I is sustained, uninterrupted over seven minutes, and as it stretches, a constantly shifting musical score emerges transforming the colour of this vowel through a spectrum of wordless emotions.
Documentation and the entire soundtrack of The Burden is on VIMEO.
