Simon Charles and John Kinsella have collaborated on their work, Visceral Fragments, since late 2022.
Over many months, these artists exchanged poetry, sound recordings, and interpretations of each’s work. This culminated in a premiere performance at Audible Edge festival, described by Izzy French in Magazine 600 as ’mythical’, and ‘enthralling’.
Focusing on York’s Suspension Bridge as a central theme, Visceral Fragments is a place-based and anti-colonial work.
Field recordings transduced through air, water, and the bridge itself underpin the sonic language of the work. Kinsella’s text traces a poetics from in-the-world signifiers to themes of environmental destruction and survival.
