I’m Lost Without Your Rhythm —12” Vinyl, 2010
Centered around "My Heart," a composition by Swedish drum and voice duo "Wildbirds & Peacedrums," Billing's project presents a class of amateur dance students in Iasi, Romania, rehearsing during the Periferic 8 Biennial of Contemporary Art in Oct 2008. The film and soundtrack link several days of activity inspired by the works of Trisha Brown and Yvonne Rainer - a continuous process, one in which the dancers are watched by an audience, free to come and go as they please - resulting in no final performance as such. The work is a result of collaboration between choreographer, musicians, dancers and audience..
Record produced by Arnolfini, Johanna Billing and Apparent Extent, 2009.
Graphic design by Åbäke, London.
