A new piece by Li Yilei, presented as part of Mayfest at The Mount Without.
‘Space Telling: The Crypt’ is a site specific sound piece consisting of vocals and live recording of the space through daily objects and instruments. It is a sonic response to ‘Spotting Masks’, a moving image work by Joan Low on the attempts of masking industrial and urban sounds through the sound waves of installed nature in the city. This performance reconstructs a landscape through sound, space telling, and the resonance of the body.
The work is part of Li’s work series, ‘Space Telling: Telling Space’, an on-going project that take place in various locations and situations, responding to and creating sonic work in a site-specific and improvisational manner.
