Where Are We Going, 2023. 

Where Are We Going  is a script that explores the impact and nuances of a shared experience through both spoken and written modes of communication, as well as nonverbal expressions such as gestures. The work is presented in two forms—both as a book and a performance—each presenting the same content in their own distinct way.

The book unfolds a dialogue between characters embarking on an undefined journey in search of direction, both physically and mentally. Throughout the book, the characters' positions and conditions are in constant motion as they assess each other, occasionally losing sight of one another due to misinterpretation or simply by being misled.

The performance explores the spatiality of the dialogue and the architecture of the exhibition space, directed by the layout's structure and typographic cues to convey the movements, perspectives, and voice of each character.

 

Where Are We Going is the first script in a three-part series of publications and performances. The series delves into the ways we navigate our physical and non-physical surroundings, exploring the ambiguity in language, the ambivalent nature of communication and how these factors shape our perception of the places we occupy.​
