They want to reopen their project Hypernating. The project had a pathway that had been derailed by the last few years, so they want to rediscover the material, question the formats and structures of the work, and start a research that springs from the same pool. In Hypernating, they set out to explore the possibilities, but also the limits, of a seemingly narrative voice. They want to dispose of this voice – find methods to make it into multiple voices. They further ask if the voices can represent a dark promise with an absence of subjectivity. They work with voices heard from a body you can hardly see, in quasi darkness or, what they hope, as a black screen/canvas. They therefore appealed to darkness – working in a dark space.
