A crack is all it takes for light to get in

The installation a crack is all It takes for light to get in emerged from a daily weaving practice sustained over several months, in which the artist wove cassette tapes from her personal music archive into woven straps.The tape material is detached from its original context and transformed into a physically tangible form. Loops and strands of woven straps hang from the ceiling, traverse the space and respond to the movements of visitors. The repetitive movements of the weaving gestures form a muscle memory, physically inscribing the archival material and transforming it into a living archive — a form of embodied knowledge production, in which memory is not held as an unchanging record but continuously reconfigured through the body. Thus, physical presence itself becomes a medium of social remembrance and a form of listening.
