Voice-Over

I’m searching for the voice which got away, the voice as lost object, as a pivotal defining sound that overcomes distances, which eases pain to cast the space of this home, this room, into a scene of sharing. And which also breaks wholeness and inserts anguish through its disappearance, a continual vacating that is always part of its presence: the voice is already partial, shadowy, full of holes. I call this voice, your voice. Your voice is a play of intimacy, a voice which reciprocates my own - like a double, this other voice shadows mine; it is an echo as well as source of my voice: it is a voice inside my voice – and which vanishes into air.
