Echolocations

Lara Dâmaso’s main medium is the body, more particularly the voice, whose expressive, therapeutic and political potential she explores. More than a tool for enunciating the intellect, its setting in motion, closely linked to that of the body, is more a matter of sensitive experience than reason. Echolocations is a video shot in the Grisons Alps. Lara Dâmaso, Tarren Johnson and Titilayo Adbayo take turns dancing and activating their voices. It is clear that movements and sounds come from the same bodily impulses. Between singing and shouting, the voices accompany the gestures, composing a sort of ritual that responds to each other as much as they multiply in echo in the very mineral environment of the mountain.
