“The Misalignment Field”
A Study on Displaced Voice and Everyday Misalignment This project documents various forms of misalignment that people experience in everyday life. Small displacements that occur between body and consciousness, memory and the present, origin and expression.
Through interviews and experimental videos, these states are revealed in different ways. On one side, people speak about their own experiences. On the other, the relationship between sound and body shows moments when misalignment actually occurs. These two records do not explain each other, but exist alongside one another under the same conditions.
Specimen Collection: Human Conditions
This project records subtle moments of misalignment that people experience in everyday life. Small discrepancies that occur between body and consciousness, memory and the present, inside and outside, expectation and reality.
Each interview remains as a SPECIMEN RECORD,
exploring how misalignment exists within an individual’s perception.

<Felipe>
Q: Felipe, we are interesting about the misalignment in life things. In case you can feel that climate in your life?
A: Well, now that you mention it, sometimes when I buy clothes, they feel a little longer than they should.
Or they feel off and they're cut. Well, I think that affects the way I feel myself when I wear those clothes.
I feel like it's changing the way I walk and the way
I conduct myself.
I think it's it's almost like the clothes are changing the way I am when I wear them.

<Mika>
Q: Mika, we are interesting about the misalignment in life things. In case you can feel that climate in your life?
A: Maybe if I'm looking at old photos on my phone, sometimes I see a version of myself that's not really me, and it's a bit weird.
I don't know if I'm more the me that was in the photo or the me that is the photo.
So I guess it's not necessarily I don't really recognize it, so I'm not sure which one it is.
