Imagine looking at one image that needs to be re-shaped, re-lived, re-born, re-main. Like separating scent layers that make up a fragrance, Untitled (sequences) is a deconstruction over four evenings. The character of PRICE echoes a product – of, for, about, through, and resisting time. Invested in the construction of sincere affect without interest in authenticity, PRICE and his extensive roster of collaborators reorganise and present accumulated materials. The force of language performs a deception of affect, drawing attention to the scenario as a technological prosthetic.

Witnessed by the other individuals, PRICE measures reality with melody, displaying tonal plasticity in vocal improvisation. Lyrics hang in the realm of sung English phonemes. The force of language performs a deception of affect, drawing attention to the scenario as a technological prosthetic to PRICE’s larynx.
