Uncertain
'Uncertain' is a work that exists through the forms of performance and installation. 'Uncertain' as an installation work attempts to make physical a gap in memory. It is not an attempt to fill in the gap but to recognise it, acknowledge it and accept its presence in one’s mind and life. You might question does one not wish to fill in the gap? One may or may not wish to gain the knowledge of what happened in the ‘gap’ in memory, tension exists between unwanted potential revelation of memory and existing partial knowledge of memory.
'Uncertain' approaches experiences of death, loss, suffering, pain, trauma, fear and sickness, the work questions fear of future repetition of history or recurrence of pattern or fate and the potential outcomes or odds of recurrence. In dealing with the fractured nature of memory one cannot avoid the fragments of memory existing in and around the ‘gap’, these fragments manifest themselves through performance. 'Uncertain' houses a number of performers within the work, with improvised bodily movements performers create an abstract moving surface in the work, displaying elements of form, shape, reflection, solidity and opaqueness. Performers are not clearly visible stirring ideas of identity and combined with the use of material calls to question the inhumane and unnatural.
'Uncertain' manifests as a spatial void or volume. It’s spatial characteristics of darkness, depth, density and black blankness combined with sound, voice, touch, texture, sight or lack of, and light come together in the work to create a sensorial spatial experience. The physicality’s of the installation allow for control, constraint and confinement over the audience, inducing a reliance on one’s will, instinct and perception.
