An interactive performance and installation
Watch Utter Trailer
Utter tells a story about the complexities of the mother/child relationship from the perspective of language acquisition in a performance with sound and images. The piece is based on a text and composition by Anne La Berge. She invited me to develop the visual part of the piece, and I created the multi-screen combination of texts and images, based on ‘collages’ and found footage. We involved Marcel Wierckx who in turn helped with the interactive set up that we had envisioned for the piece. The three of us worked artistically on developing Utter, aiming at a format that could be performed live by Anne as well as being an interactive installation. The set includes 6 iPads that run a newly developed app that interacts with a laptop that steers both audio and visual material.
Unsounds records has published Utter within a collection of digital stories. Utter has been performed in the US, Mexico, New Zealand, and Europe.
The making of Utter and performance tours can be seen on Anne’s website: here.
