In Frame of Reference, viewers are invited into a dynamic exploration of perspective and perception. This video performance employs experimental looping techniques to construct a layered sonic landscape, where each moment reveals new dimensions. As the piece unfolds, the audience is drawn into an intricate puzzle, piecing together the evolving soundscape and its meaning. Through the intricate layering and creative processing, the piece evokes a sense of curiosity and exploration, encouraging the audience to reconsider their frame of reference.
