Leveraging sound from sensation with every in and out breath until the heart becomes a tender object is the capture of an impromptu performance by Orrico. Bedsheets sourced from the artists’ quarters become the arena for this spontaneous, 22 minute action. They hang in a ring, stapled to the ceiling of his studio, and are tied in a low gather that resembles the anatomy housing the breath. The fabric begins to move and ripple; which appears to be caused by the growing intensity of the sound and breath. As the camera navigates the terrain of Orrico’s body (as if to be searching for the origin of the sound), it intervenes in the shared enclosure, becoming an unseen performer. Orrico notes: “I am leveraging sound from sensation in a real and rational sense; a process detached from emotion or psyche.” From what he describes as the “micro-collapse” beneath what is felt, Orrico uses that as impetus to motivate sounding. The trailing body is residue, constantly softening to support the sustain.
