MY TONGUE, YOUR EAR
Lesley Telford | Inverso Productions (Vancouver)
The paradox of distance and proximity is that nearer doesn’t always mean closer. Relating to the legend of the Tower of Babel, this speaks of the destiny of a couple from the interior of a myth, who build a relationship that crumbles into confused tongues.
“My Tongue, Your Ear seems to deliriously defy time and space
—
a dreamlike duet”
