Obfuscate

Filmed in Madeira 'Obfuscate' is a duet between recorded and remembered audio visual experience exploring the fractured narrative of man-made intrusions dissolved by nature and memory's dis-associative storytelling of landscape. Plum explores the semblance and resemblance of memory and landscape through multi-channel performance embodying the layered clouds of association and disassociation, combining field recordings, live vocals, cassette manipulation, multi-channel diffusion and percussion.

Described by ATTN magazine as "her voice reacts to the urges of the wind and the sea, arcing over the waves and bleating in counter-currents against the wind, fluttering like a tethered ribbon in a storm or dancing in jovial mimicry of morning birdsong. She converses with her pre-recorded self. Voices shrink onto tinny cassette players or spill pristinely out of the PA, like memories of differing clarity riding toward me upon the kinetic currents of nature."
