voice under
2023 (English)Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic) [Artistic work]
Abstract [en]
If voice over is the superior voice that dictates truth, I examine voice under, the other truths that take place simultaneously. In my doctoral thesis voice under, I explore all the parallel voices beyond the dominating all-knowing voice over. The intention of the project and concept voice under is to open up a wider sensory register in both the creation and the experience of film. By looking closely at, challenging, and playing with different cinematic conventions, I explore how we can recreate seemingly dominant expressions and find spaces for resistance, although temporary. This document outlines the different modes of publication of the doctoral thesis voice under. voice under consists of two branches: film and text.
The Documented Artistic Research Project (Doctoral Thesis) voice under will be made public and archived on September 1, 2023, through the following three materials:
1. Welcome to voice under folder
2. Performative contemplative film screening
3. The book voice under, consisting of a collection of texts

Note
voice under consists of two different types of material: Film and text in the shape of:
a performative, contemplative film screening, and a book consisting of a collection of text.
The performative screening consists of audio, moving images, and somatic exercises. The aim is to invite participants to explore a wider sensory register and different ways of seeing. At the screening, I guide the audience through a number of “chapters”. To emphasize the ephemeral qualities of the screening, and to let its performative elements be as important as the audiovisual ones, I have chosen to merely document this work in the form of a text with a score and still images from each chapter of the screening, as well as references and a list of contributors. No audiovisual material is uploaded or archived.
The book voice under, gather a collection of texts which explores and plays with the concept voice under through encounters with examples from my own filmmaking, from other filmmakers, as well as more theoretical renderings of bodies, gender, trans experiences, desire, violence, and trauma. None of the examples I write about in this book are an exact illustration of what voice under is. At the same time, all these examples are attempts that point toward what voice under could be, by gathering a multitude of voices.
