Out of the Vox
What happens when voice happens?
Mechanics in action, both within the body as well as surrounding it; voice carries in it marks of identity or an Autobiography that is revealed when vocalizing; voice is also naturally transgressive and, as such, voice is inseperable from Agency.

"The listener should not have simply learned something new: the point is, rather, to make him or her aware of another disturbing side of something he or she knew all the time." — Slavoj Žižek, The Parallax View, MIT Press, 2006 (preface)
What happens when voice happens?
Out of the Vox is an audiovisual object born from an extended practical and theoretical research into the voice, as material, as somatic event, as carrier of identity, and as act of agency. It is composed of three independently selectable chapters:
I. Mechanics - an inquiry into the physiology and resonance of the voice, developed through months of daily vocal practice, collaboration with dancers trained in voice work, and the observation of sounding bodies both human and animal.
II. Autobiography - tracing the intimate link between voice and identity through recovered childhood recordings, collected testimonies from friends and strangers, and a dialogue between the self who speaks and the self who is remembered.
III. Agency - shaped by a five-day voluntary silence at a rural retreat, this chapter explores what voice claims, disrupts, and makes visible, and what is lost, or found, in its absence.
Together, the three chapters form a single proposition: that the voice is not simply something we have, but something that happens through us. A threshold between the body and the world, between the self and those who receive it.
