(when i don´t undersand i say) claro

(When I don't understand I say) CLARO is a first glimpse into a creative investigation of "understanding-without-understanding" within a foreign tongue. My work inhabits the voids between words and thoughts; the "mis-translations" in silence and the (likely) "mis-spoken" phrase—a broken telephone of sorts. These voids generate a physical tension articulated through the fall. Here, falling is a physical access point to space, dance, language, and the shared effort of communication.
