I feel a snap in me.
A snap is a crack.
A snap is sharp.
A snap is abrupt.
A break suddenly.
And completely.
Irreversibly.

Siren Song is a poetic work that explores the gesture
of snapping and its radical meaning. A snap is a break; the unbecoming of what can no longer be bearable. A snap is a moment of refusing the accumulation of a longer history in which one has been shaped into unwanted forms. In the video, the snap makes possible new ways of relating and navigating the world by proposing new relationships to it.

Siren Song is the last episode of the project 'What Happens
If We Wait Together?' (2020-23).
