Duet
La Puebla de Castro, Spain
14 May 2023
From the trees overhanging the path came the sound of a nightingale.
I recorded the sound with my phone and then played it loudly.
The nightingale responded and sang a duet with its own captured song.

La Têt 2: Rope
Perpignan, France
10 May 2023
in collaboration with Martine Viale

We both hold the rope. It connects our attention.
We see each other, we see the water .
The rope in our hands follows the current,
it churns and turns, it pulls.
It leads and guides the movements of our walk downstream.

April 2023During a train journey from St. Moritz to Zermatt, across the Alps, I wrote continuously for eight hours.
Not to record the trip in a text, but to internalize my observations and reflections through writing.
The notes were not meant to ever be read back. After I wrote them, they lost their importance.
Anchor is related to the works Streams (2022) and Short-term memory (2019).
