About the Artwork:
Izabella’s Voice / Ben Gorodetsky // Changing location
‘Izabella’s Voice' is 49 performances, over 49 days, in 49 public locations around Kitchener-Waterloo. Built around recordings of the artist’s 90 year old Ukrainian grandmother singing and reciting poetry from memory. Her wavering voice, fallible memory, and everpresent hacking cough shape the fragile sound collage. Using the visual language of drag and political street theatre, these recordings become a reclamation of immigrant history and cultural residue through serial public performance.
