The Silence of the Sirens

“And at the very moment when they were nearest to him he knew of them no longer.” Kafka

Fragmenting, magnifying, delaying. “The Silence of the Sirens” deals with capturing bodily images in photography. It stands in the gap between a sensory experience that refuses explicit fixation and the eternal, unchallengeable testimony it provides. An attempt to hold onto a sharp yet suffocated detail, screaming and swallowing sound.

 

The performance was created as part of the New Department program at SVT, with the support of the Jerusalem Foundation
