Perverse temporalities
2019 | Full HD | Stereo | Two channels | 57:10 and 80:25 minutes



For Perverse Temporalities, Karin Keisu and Josse Thuresson composed a song for each other, unheard by the other. They began lip-syncing in front of the camera, listening as they performed. The performances unfolded over 57 minutes and 1 hour and 20 minutes, until each performer reached a sense of certainty in the lyrics, at which point they stopped the recording.
