Past Tense

A collaboration between Photographers and Sound Artists, 2025

01 PAST TENSE FOR ONLINE 03069

(Past)Tense was a collaborative project between two photographers and three sound artists, accumulating in a-multi sensory sculpture exhibited at a group show in Copeland Gallery, Peckham. The piece explores unspoken memory through vibrations in the body under tension. 

Our accumulated experiences and external politicised forces manifest as tension rippling through a vibro tactile composition. Visitors were invited to move through the composition, touching the work and listening closely to the pieces.

Collaboration played a role in combining self-portraiture with sound art, giving us permission to embrace vulnerability and self-acceptance.  

The artists that worked with on this are:

Marie-Lisette Cropp

Alvenn Soroko
