HOLD FOR THREE

Sonic Performance

2023


‘Hold for Three’ is a sonic performance which morphs bodies into machinehood and objects into organs. Kayla Elrod and Lottie Sebes probe the sonic capacities of various bellows, operating them as instruments, extensions and prosthetics.

Sonic worlds are built from wheezing breath, creaking hinges, loosening screws, and hot air hissing.

Outmoded objects of production are transformed into otherworldly organs, powered by mechanical respiration, a cycle of tension and release. What slips from a hosed mouth on the floor of an old ship?
