Sound may be the thinnest element of perceptible material. In Hypernating CKR and CLT explore the possibilities and edges of a narrator. An 'out of place' voice - which becomes multiple voices - carried by a trans-body. These voices narrate, without ever wanting to declare - a text or stories as mysterious and seductive messages, they are voices that evoke imaginary halfway between the corporeal and the visionary and give shape to spaces capable of being inhabited by immaterial imaginations and dreams. Blind voices like that of the Oracle Tiresias, which are like a song but with the quality of a playback, as if they were completely detached from organic matter. CKR and CLT wonder if these voices can offer a promise in the dark, the absence of a subjectivity as a potential appearance for another body, for an artificial image that appears and disappears in the darkness of vision. They question the reality of a voice and ask us to take a walk in the Uncanny Valley. They look for ways to create and then decompose images, so as to never be interested in defining the recognition of a figure and to do this, they call us into the dark - to stay in a dark space. The images are physically modeled in luminous shimmers that are immediately reabsorbed into the viscous matter of the dark. In the darkness of the scene, bodies move with minimal gestures, manipulating other apparently wearable bodies: a sequined windbreaker, technological objects conceived for sound, illuminating screens: cell phones, LCD monitors - broken or that have lost their their function to become something else, like traces of a super-enlightened time, which still holds itself back in the obsession with clarity / sensation as a recognition of a biological reality. The piece is a kind of story of the body, like an interior monologue that becomes a potential collective discourse, perhaps it is a love song - the plot of an artificial collision that modulates the widespread appearance of a mysterious design.
