One Take’ is one 6-minute continuous long take played two times, each with a different soundscape based on the artist’s improvised voice performances while standing in the dark watching the play-back of the 6-minute clip projected on a big wall.
“A momentary drift-away from the realm of cognition one summer day when I stood alone in front of the Macao Cultural Centre, waiting… A tired voice was looking for its lost,possible sounds.
I know not what I want.
My shattered senses vanish into the wind and hail.
The unspeakable and the voiceless ring and circle and
Swim up my limbs like a stream.
I utter, therefore I am.” (Linda Lai)
