Iris Garrelfs: Unwitting Scores

Unwitting scores is a performance commissioned for Forms of Ventriloquism curated by Maria Papadomanolaki at the IMT Gallery. Re-interpreting the relationships between puppeteer and dummy, performer and score, by “throwing her voice” (as the act of ventriloquizing is also known), she gives expression to another time, another place, and another’s experience. These were relayed by visual and textual recordings of the initial activities. Iris Garrelfs now zooms into their fragmented traces, which become unwitting scores and prompts to a performative transposition of place.
