Audio work about invisible heaviness: the burden society puts on us. We're held back by visible and invisible barriers, endless obligations to prove ourselves, and the constant fear of isolation and judgment – until we're told that we ourselves are the burden. Premiere of an acoustic exploration of the stigma of disability and the question: Who's carrying the load here?
„All Who Are Weary and Heavy Laden, I Will Give You Rest“ (Fixed Media, around 60min.)
This 8 channel audio and video work delves into themes of exhaustion, interdependence, and mental health through a collaborative lens. Artists Boško Begovic and Amble Skuse engage in a unique interplay where Boško's movements generate data that blends audio and video on Amble’s soundscape, highlighting their reliance on one another to create a cohesive work. The narrative explores the connection between wellness and the burdens of modern life, touching on masculinity and the implications of physical limitations. It interrogates how added weight can destabilize existing structures, emphasising that balance is not anathema to disability but a form of interdependence and care. The piece challenges viewers to consider the societal infrastructures that support or hinder individuals, and how we perceive strength and resilience in the face of such challenges.
This piece was produced In Collaboration with Boško Begovic.
