Nwando Ebizie (UK, 1982)
The Swan (2022) 60’
The Swan unfolds like a time-bending ethnographic account of found sound and footage that is at once both ancient and futuristic.
A work of sonic fiction into the imagined world of a matriarchal community, this project brings together Nwando Ebizie’s left-field electronic experiments, cross-border musical influences, radical live art practices, and interests in Black Atlantic ritual cultures and speculative fiction.
‘The water beneath, the water beneath – the dive into the subconscious
The dreamy depths where true self may be revealed
But we must go through a series of initiations
Step through transformational fire’
Produced by hcmf// supported by Battersea Arts Centre and the Foyle Foundation; also supported by the Hinrichsen Foundation
The Swan is commissioned by hcmf// as part of the COVID-19 Commissions series
