Chora is a vibroacoustic installation which invites you to listen with the whole body. It consists of a surface that emanates sounds I have recorded from within and around my body using a hydrophone and contact mic. What may happen here is a co-modulation, where bodies both conduct and are conducted by these quiet internal utterances. The piece emerged from wonderings about the womb as a sanctuary and a place of transformation. Perhaps this is true for the whole body;

a place we may forget but can always return to. Here we may re-member forms of knowing that precede language and identification, somewhere between comfort and unease, between self and other.

What happens when we rest in this in-between?

Chora, borrowed from philosopher and feminist theorist, Julia Kristeva, names the pre-linguistic space:  rhythmic, bodily, prior to language and the formation of self.
