Trance

Voices that drift in waves, condensing and interacting with each other to create images and movement. We no longer just hear a sound, as sounds immediately set a mood as these voices grow into an image that emerges from our perception. Small atomic details form an image from acoustic input that directly forms visual output. The image of a “what if” situation where people’s actions were successful is created with human voices from real revolutions, demonstrations, and protests of different regions of the world. What if everything fell silent? Silence as an imaginary quality, our memories are cut off, just as we are separated from all sound waves and frozen in absolute silence. Is that so, or does silence consist of another voice that we cannot yet hear?
