Filmic Bodies



Filmic bodies - Layers of audio from the performances in ‘private’ and ‘public’ air from the site of the dining room table to the rosary, moving between (dis)comfort as the private and the public become porous. The voice becomes submerged and only the shared breath is heard from my mother and my breath. The tempos of these breath determine the speed of the visuals and the cuts/edits in the filmic body. The circular motion of the rosary is felt, as these conditions are felt on the Irish diaspora of mothers and daughter but the breath resists and creates iterations which disorientate, reorientate, orientate.
