Published by 3-ply and Liquid Architecture, 2021
A co-publishing initiative of 3-ply and Liquid Architecture’s Disclaimer journal, 1:1:Infinity is a serial audio publication, conceived as an episodic column that offers a radical expansion in ratios of access. Voiced descriptions of artworks, performances, and situations, commissioned from our friends and associates, pivot on the Describer as embodied proxy and subjective guide. Turning from objective tropes, we invite conversational, improvised description, as if speaking to an intimate other. Each description is recorded in place, as the narrator navigates spontaneous perceptions, personal reactions, and critical relations to works, structures, and happenings we cannot see.
Recorded 2:30pm, 6 December 2020, at MAMA Rotterdam, Eloise Sweetman describes a visit to an audio, sculptural and textual installation by Pris Roos.
About the describer: Eloise Sweetman loves art, misses her home in Western Australia, all the time loving Rotterdam where she became friends with Pris Roos whose artwork Sweetman speaks of. Sweetman is a curator, artist, writer and teacher working in intimacy, not knowing and material relation. She started Shimmer with Dutch-Australian artist Jason Hendrik Hansma in 2017.
