One Once On Which Whatever What

Vidéo expérimentale | hdv | couleur | 15:9 | Canada | 2019

Based on the artist’s poetic reconfiguration of Susan Sontag’s 1969 text The Aesthetics of Silence and drawing on his studio practice, this work is comprised of a series of artistic gestures, observations and small performances that explore the erotics of philosophy, the uselessness of poetry, and dumb yearning.
