MICHELLE HANNAH
CU
8min / 2016



CU is a video work commissioned for the 10 year anniversary exhibition at The Royal Standard in Liverpool 2016.
A durational vocal work, formed from the concept of CU -the chemical symbol of copper and abbreviated film term for ‘close up’. CU is a new interpretation and arrangement of Brian Eno's 'No One Receiving' and Sunn 0))) 'It Took The Night To Believe' lyrics via digital vocal processing, dronology and a mask of real copper leaf. The performance by Hannah is delivered meditatively in a hazed metal stillness, detached from gender or place. A ‘dark matter of pop’ is exhumed and weaved with the sense of an esoteric electric presence from this antique alien.




‘There is a strong sense of subverted romanticism in my work, namely in the roles that video, fashion, pop music, photography and performance can be used as an outlet - to understand in my own finite way; emerging technologies and new ontologies of identity in a post digital, non concrete world. I use a musical guise, through vocal performances that can last for hours at a time, a mediation to reveal an electronic otherness, using my voice channeled through various processors. To engage, entice and detach equally in a digital yet corporeal artifice. ‘
