🪸 Biba Cole wrote (how do you sound a bracket?) in response to a prompt (of the same phrase) from
@joe.bradleyhill . In the work,
@bibacole poses a set of choreographed movements in answer to the question, and explores how brackets are used to both draw attention to and look aside at their contents. Biba takes the reader to embodied digressions on a rocky coast, addressing the slipperiness and tension of this punctuation device.
💆♀️ Biba’s piece is here shown inside Daria Martin’s Sensorium Tests (Milton Keynes: MK Gallery, 2012), a monograph revolving around Martin’s eponymous 16mm film. Sensorium Tests uses the neurological condition of mirror-touch synaesthesia to explore how sensations are transmitted, shared, and created in film. Serendipitously, these stills almost enact some of the gestures that Biba offers in her writing.
🛒 (how do you sound a bracket?) is available to buy on the Late Works website now by itself or in the Alphabetical Processions Vol.1 bundle.
