Inspired by Kim Gordon’s Proposal for a Story [I-IV] texts (1977, for 35mm slide) this work is at once a song or a series of song fragments in interaction; instructions to participate, a blank space to sing with, and a framework to write one’s own song; a sketchbook of ideas and compiling of process.
