Silo Solos – 8ight Circles
The artist performs mechanical visual sounds that combine into a musical/visual piece. Simple, humble actions performed in a small space reflect the physical isolation of the silo—a tower of fairy tales where the protagonist is locked away. Multiple revolutions within the octagonal silo evoke time, the heartbeat, breath in and out, and repetitive motion. The slow quiet of sustained isolation draws inward towards the self and the body.
