This immersive experience features a new film by artist Catherine Street, followed by spoken word performances by the artist and also poet JL Williams. In addition there will be live performances by composers and improvisers Martin Parker and Owen Green.

The sound and image is derived from that of the exhausted body of the artist. The words spoken allude to the sensual, experiential world of human perception alongside a theoretical conception of time and space. An increasingly intense soundtrack envelopes all.
