14:30 Screening - “Attendee”
On March 23 we will host Min Oh’s presentation of her publication “Absentee, Attendee, Invitee”, and the screening of her film “Attendee”.
Absentee, Attendee, Invitee is a book about a multidisciplinary work of the same names. Absentee is a music piece composed of sounds that are difficult to hear. It delves into the physicality and conceptuality of sound and what it fundamentally means to listen to sound. Attendee is a time-based installation that incorporates the performance of Absentee. It explores the visibility of inaudible sounds. Invitee is a live performance that is choreographed with the process of installing the five different projection arrangements for Attendee. It highlights the physicalities involved in the audio-visual installation. The book encompasses the ideas, scores, and conversations with the collaborators surrounding the work.
