Katalin Juhász passed away on December the 26th 2015 at the age of seventy-two. Unknown to anyone until her death, she left behind a secret archive of audio cassettes containing private conversations, field recordings, ambient sounds and collages.
‘Katalin’ is an experience that takes this remarkable, real-life archive as its starting point to find unknowable languages for the now. We will engage with the archive in ways that feel both familiar and unusual – eventually producing our very own cassette tape. The past is a swirling whirlpool to which we leap into so we may heart what is present.
KATALIN
A PLAYFUL SÈANCE FOR BODILY IMAGINATION, WHIRLPOOLING TIME AND CASSETTE TAPES
