'Apartment Block. No.10' explores the interaction between space and sound and how a synergy between the two can expose the different modalities of identity. Set within a metropolitan context, this experimental video artwork explores the cultural zeitgeist of contemporary society, in which these urban spaces are dominated by the intentional and unintentional sounds of humanity. Therefore, Jessica Long’s work explores how our everyday experiences of sound and physical space affect the ways in which we perceive our own identities. Both the rhythmic collaboration of sound and the unification of place interact to create an analogy for the collective identity in which the apartment block becomes a microcosm of society. In collaboration with Jessica Meier on sound design, both artists highlight the complexities of human identity in which the individual and the collective maintain a fluid dialogue of influence.
