predictable object (performed)
Year of production: 2014
The object moved by the sound, the sound created by the object, the object moved by the sound, the sound created by the object.
This piece presents a kind of conceptual paradox and is both logically predictable and random in equal measure.

‘mimic’ takes as its starting point a very simple question….‘what if a birds song was a drawing?’ The answer to this question became the making of a film where a solitary birdsong is transcribed into a simple but rather hypnotic ‘shadow drawing’. Deceptively simple in approach, this ‘drawing’ plays ingeniously with a range of ambiguities and associations as the pen strangely mimics the chirping of the birdsong, while the shadow of the hand with it’s flinching, almost staccato movement seems to take on rather birdlike behaviour. A sparse simple line is used to record an ephemeral fleeting moment and subtly composes itself into an instinctive musical score as the ink lines are spontaneously woven into a delicate ‘calligraphic nest’.
