As we move through the world, how do we familiarise ourselves with new environments? Drawing from Jett Ilagan’s own experience of a nomadic lifestyle, and from his research into the lives of Filipino workers travelling overseas in search of employment, sonic_{imprints}° highlights the importance of sound to our experience of place. A jittery electronic soundtrack shot through with snatches of city noise accompanies the visitor as they explore this immersive hybrid of performance and light installation, tuning into others’ experiences and reflecting on their own navigation of urban space.
