overhead, interrupted: work

Lecture with Brandon LaBelle.
The presence of the other, the gap in which the voice appears, the stranger and the friend, togetherness, and standing apart, lonely, and dreaming (or is it remembering?) of what another calls "the poetics of relation" – standing still, sometimes, and then running, knowing and not knowing, restless, and in search: the project of the creative body.
