Philomene Pirecki’s work deals with how time, memory and perception can materialise in images, objects and sonic performance. Her sound work is built around recordings generated by her own body and electromagnetic energy. Using somatic rhythms such as vocal drones, variations in her heartbeats, layered breathing, physical and emotional states; she shapes this into resonant sonic material and visceral basslines. In a diverse practice including photographs that will unfold over the duration of her lifetime, or work that references the changing frequency standards and technologies used for measuring time itself, Pirecki’s work addresses the temporalities and impermanence of lived experience and our attempts to hold and structure it.
