SUMMARY:Fremantle Biennale presents Microfictions
DESCRIPTION:Date: 14 November at 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM\nLocation: Naval Store -141 Queen Victoria St\, Fremantle\nDuration: 60 minutes\, looped\nEvent Information: This event is held indoors and undercover. The performance can be entered at any time during opening hours.\n\n\nStep into an unfurling cosmos of sound\, movement and poetry in Microfictions — a major new commission by internationally acclaimed duo Hylozoic/Desires (Himali Singh Soin & David Soin Tappeser)\, in collaboration with Vessel Contemporary. Occupying Fremantle’s iconic Naval Store\, this live performance installation is a slowly shifting meditation on land\, love and deep time.\n\n\nAudiences are invited to recline in suspended hammocks — floating\, as if in the ocean — while a sand mandala in the form of a topographical map morphs slowly beneath them. Charting a course from the ancient supercontinent Pangea to the speculative future of Pangea Ultima\, performers trace the outlines of the evolving continents with materials native and invasive — white sand\, crushed limestone\, salt\, even flecks of gold\, camel hair and cuttlefish— shaping and reshaping borders in an eternal drama of impermanence.\n\n\nTapping into planetary turbulence\, Microfictions is a poetic and sonic meditation on weight — what anchors us — and lightness — what defies gravity and how we drift. Accompanied by a score for upright bass\, electric harp and percussion\, recalling the tectonic rhythms and rumbles of the Earth\, Microfictions traverses oceans\, continents and hemispheres imagining futures of intermingling cultures and languages\, ecological entanglements and human-nonhuman dependencies. This is a powerful call to the intimacy of deep memory and land both as displacement and reconciliation.\n\n\nHylozoic/Desires’ expansive and celebrated practice has been presented at leading institutions including the Serpentine (London)\, Desert X (California)\, Shanghai Biennale\, Venice Biennale\, Sharjah Biennale and the Swiss Institute (New York). Microfictions marks their much-anticipated Australian premiere.\n\n\nhttps://fremantlebiennale.com.au/event/microfictions/?fbclid=IwY2xjawNuQK5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHjfM-YZKjZs0QVEkWPzFTc-FtbOkp6vMWGfu-8n8zAuWunLgFyN-WkVDfDL2_aem_2-Av-HP7C1-B_HYZZ7Iafw
