Queer Temporal by Solomiya Moroz

Abstract

This digital score installation-performance delves into the disruptive nature of time on queer individuals, exploring themes of control, precarity, obstacles, and loss through repetition, entropy, and exaggerated sonic elements. Collaborative methods are utilised for performers to explore temporal continuity and discontinuity, drawing from sources like military and gay liberation marches. The piece employs randomised live audio prompts and an immersive audio installation, with performers interpreting archived materials and memories while navigating obstacles over an hour-long dynamic exploration. It incorporates clubbing tracks inspired by queer voguing culture and utilises transducers on drums for recorded materials, reshaping the narrative through interaction with instruments associated with marches.
