My voice repeats itself

Six men repeat the phrase My voice repeats itself; they interrupt and speak over each other, they hesitate, try to give space and fail. The work simulates an awareness-raising workshop where men reflect on their own voice, but ironically never reach anything other than their own repetition. The work refers to the personal, structural, historical and ideological presence and repetition of the male voice and male perspective. The voices were recorded during performative readings of The white voice(2021).
