Join us next Wednesday at B7L9 Art Centre at 8 PM for Corps Perdu—an immersive experience where sound, text, and collective reading come together.
Corps Perdu functions as the opening to a forthcoming trilogy of sound works that form part of a long-term project provisionally titled Surrounding World. Conceived as a process in continuous becoming, the project deliberately resists closure or a definitive final form. Its development unfolds dialogically through performance, installation, object-based presentation, music, and radio.
The practice centers on the creation of immersive, multisensory sound environments, informed and inspired by the reading of conceptually dense and historically rich texts from the tradition of Black Studies, as well as from seminal historians, poets, and theorists such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Sylvia Wynter, and Aimé Césaire. While the works often engage with the turbulent uncertainties of the present, sound—the project’s primary medium— carries a historical consciousness. The resulting form is a poetic and unexpected montage, whose most recent iteration is Corps Perdu.
