Sounds come from sources, flow with materials, are reflected by surroundings and have different recipients. 
In this process I sense those and feel responsible for their journey. 

Since my early embarrassing work, Race, I try to find ways to be a good listener and work for it. 
For me, being a good listener also means considering the political dimensions and questions of rights that emerge in sounds, in their movement, and in their effects. 

I listen to noises, make noises, and share those with participants with diverse artistic forms.
Such as games, instructions, installations, workshops, or compositions.

Two Pronged Rotation



This is a performative and participatory work, which its audiences their own sounds find. There is no boundary between stage and place for audience in this, but participants are guided as a two lines of people around in the concert place by two artists(Jeesoo/Dudu). These lines meet, separate and cross each other.

Audiences wander through sounding sculptures and installed sounds and can hear those according to their body, ears, or their perception. In that way, audiences are listeners and performers at the same time. 

The installed sounds are field-recorded and/or synthesized. They will be played right before the beginning of the work and installed after a collaboration with spaces and dedicated situations 

We personally interested in sound/audio walk in a specific site. "Two Pronged Rotation" will be performed and guided in a ordinary closed and musical place. This guidance dedicates itself as a live composing tool with moving bodies and ears.
