👀 The documentation of Fade-out, Hanne Lippard’s solo-show curated by furiosa, as part of the program, "I’m a private person, I’m a public mind" is now available online: https://f-u-r-i-o-s-a.com/Exhibitions
I'm a private person, I'm a public mind borrows its title from a poem performed by Hanne Lippard on a winter afternoon. Haunting the active memory of a cell phone's Notes application for two years. I’m a private person, I’m a public mind mark through Fade-out, the last opus of a program focusing on the lexicon of attraction and the intimate strategies, the obsession with language, and the migration of language.
The fading of the voice invites us to understand disappearance as an autonomous phenomenon. Thus, Fade-out allows us to consider this phenomenon through several entities, some voices understood as a set of sounds produced by the mouth resulting from the vibration of the glottis under the pressure of exhaled air and as such precedes speech. (1)
Through intertextuality, Hanne Lippard permutes, fragments, and reconstructs language using words in their potential echoes.
What is this ghost who echoes the call? (2) To be haunted by a ghost is to remember something you've never lived through. (...) Firstly, you're asking a ghost whether he believes in ghosts, Here the ghost is me. (3)
