Individual Residencies
2021 | Semay Wu
Semay’s artistic practice explores sound through compositional strategies that look for relationships in and amongst sound, space and movement, and what emerges from this.
She owes much to the essence of the Social Space described, by D.Massey (2013), as alive, dynamic and relevant. This space involves our relations with each other, whether from ‘human to human’ or ‘human to non-human’.
Time during the residency allowed Semay to work on developing a series of graphic scores that can be performed individually, but also seen as one cumulative composition. She reflected, discussed and found perspectives; exploring methods for visualising and translating; and realising the relations of her own internal trajectories, along the themes of loss and renewal, questioning the role of the creator, and what these pieces will come to mean.
