Rediscover the city through Open Your Palm See The Dust Settling There, an audio work by artist and Savage Messiah author Laura Grace Ford, the latest PAUSE, a mid-week moment to take in an artist’s work in full. Generated by psychogeographic walks – drifts – through the Latimer Road, Hammersmith and White City areas of West London, the work was originally comprised of three parts, and is now available as a feature length podcast.
Comprised of a conflation of spoken text and sound collage, Open Your Palm is an audio work responding to the psychic and emotional contours of the city, Made from field recordings and fragments of found music, the spectral sectors of the city permeate across the work. The channelling of voices based on real encounters allows for an intersubjective relationship with the terrain, an approach to sound and text as a form of psychic ventriloquy.
