Walking hastily through my local park I pass a grove - my steady pace is interrupted by a rustle from beneath the trees. As I can’t immediately identify the sound it catches my interest. At first, I think it might be a bird, but the sound is too heavy to come from such a small creature. It’s rather a human sound, though I can’t be sure. I decide to veer off from my planned route to solve this mystery. I am now standing between the trees, but there’s nothing here. As I begin to question both my ears and my sanity a thumping sound from the pathway interferes with my thoughts – an enthusiastic walker passing by. I begin to wonder if they will stop because of the sound I’m making - or will they think the sound is coming from some animal – or maybe something else completely? Slowly, I realize that I have found nothing, and that unwittingly I have turned into the spectacle rather than the spectator. My role as spectacle is naturally dependent on whether the passer-by senses my presence. When it becomes apparent that they have not noticed me I start to wonder if I’ve become invisible? - or if I’ve lost my capacity to release sound? Is it a lack of will to see / hear? Is he just unobservant? Or has he found something more interesting? In the end I decide that it doesn’t matter whether he has sensed my presence - or that I couldn’t find the source of the sound that initially distracted me, what is important is the before and after. It’s the moments before and after my actions that evoke a story that arouses my imagination and curiosity. The sound lead me to follow my intuition and my subsequent actions transformed me from spectator to spectacle, making me part of a mise en scène which in turn became an image. The image is evidence that an action took place. This frozen moment now gives the passer-by another chance to revisit an incident that may have completely passed them by the first time. It allows them the opportunity to re-imagine the scenario, perceiving new and unfamiliar realities within everyday life.
