Kepla & DeForrest Brown Jr. - Crowding and Bubbling Landscapes of Deposited Bodies Suite I




'Absent Personae' was commissioned by Nathan Jones / Mercy and Penned in the Margins for Electronic Voice Phenomena as an interstitial spectre in transition, resonating with the sinister politics of pseudo-science histories, while speculating on identity as evasion and persona without orientation. The Electronic Voice Phenomena Sessions gathers newly-commissioned and specially-selected works from artists working across theatre, contemporary art, poetry and performance, into three very special hybrid shows. This sound and video combination acts as the unconscious of The EVP Sessions, resonating with the sinister politics of pseudo-science histories, while speculating on the future for an electro-vocal persona distributed among the network.

Absent Personae imagines the end of history as an urban landscape being explored through the black body, its final labours spent deconstructing the urban environments which it was enslaved to produce.
The artists understand the fringe zones of post-industrial cities as emanating psychic and techno-social intensities which predict the future of the urban experience - combining material irrevocability with ghostly non-existence. Chris Boyd's video work takes up this theme, using data from the voice- and face-recognition technology to re-construct the persona via its traces.
The process of recording, writing, composition and communication in this collaboration has itself been distributed across zones in New York, Birmingham Alabama, and Liverpool and Warrington in the UK.

Following in the style of verbatim theatre, Brown – through private recordings in various urban public environments – recalls a palpable though unseen trauma while wading amidst Davies’ digital processing of found social media audio. The result is a psychopolitical meditation on Black America as a (de)territorialized subject.
