Behold here the transcription of words mouthed during the improvised solo vocal performance of The Consitution by Tisa Neža Herlec, XPUB 2021 graduation show, RIB, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

the elements that i perceive
ceaselessly rotate around me
somehow i grasp them sometimes
even for a little while
perceivable before they disintegrate again
into their primal speck of time
and dust

always seem to pick up the pieces from where i intend to go
how is it to make something bearable wearable perceivable articulated
does it feel good when you perceive simplicity
right in front of you
there are all of these units
tied together in a dance
i wonder who dictates the pace of their movements

proof so far at
ordinarily
so far as
where the other horizon lays
where you seek for the distant
how close is proximity
symmetry

i forgot the number
of where ... where ... arrrrrgh

night and days
a little taste of totality
do you feel how totality tastes
do you taste the totality
do you talk therein
is there an absolute possibility
so much that such activity becomes perceiveable
dow does totality taste
i got a glimpse of its senses inside of me

cough & laughter

okay okay
... number
lucky number

feedback & mic drop

[insert proto-linguistic intuitive vocal communication propositions]

i wish all the sounds would have a word to begin with
a word that would go together with all the sounds
i wish language would be as expressive as undetermined noises that we can make
it seems that there is only possibility
not to perceive but to express
cause now i feel like i am in a fantasy
and i don't know if my dress is appropriate

so, give me the title of the next one
"laundry machine"

i know what you wanted, you wanted a loop

i know what you wanted, you wanted a loop
something that goes in a cycle
never ceases to perform
there is a speed to it
a ceasless speed
nobody wants a cycle to end
or do we
there is fear involved in the cycles passing
once you reach its ending
all you want is to restart it
what happens in a break
between one and the other take?

[circular vocalisation]

i have to see something, because i was thinking about it before
it's hidden inside here, something to do with the washing machine

[grabs a notebook and reads]
>
recurrent speeding
what happens to the loop when it gets exhausted
how does it stop?
eventually?
slowing down its circularity
abruptly
by a fault in the mechanism
or by its limit of exhaustion
<

i must say
i am a loop
and if i am not a loop
then i am situated in one

the repetition of day-today
the repetition of habits
the repetition of wakefulness
the repetition of sleep

how does it cease
how does a loop get to know its borders and ends

i am not a mechanical system
even though my body functions as one
biology is technology
and yet the human machine is exhausted

and then
and then
and then
and then
and then
and then
you write letters of love to time
and then
and then
and then
and then
you wait for time to return them
and then
and then
and then
and then
time passes and you don't wait anymore
you think time has rejected you
but what time has its power
even power
and then
and then
and then
and then
you replay your love for time
even if its not returned
its yours
and then
and then
and then
and then
you become the lover of time
and time perhaps becomes your friend
and then
and then
and then
and then
you spend time with it
times of symmetry
and then
and then
and then
and then
time gives you back what you gave it

[cries and swears]

fuck, fuck, fuck
shit is real, okay
i'm not a rapper to say stuff like this

thank you for your time
