A.S.M. Kobayashi’s work mines accidental recordings, discarded messages, and found objects. Drawn to materials that have an unremarkable everydayness yet are honest documents, she studiously performs a multitude of characters inspired by these found narratives. Her practice is led by a ferocious curiosity and an understanding that with time and patience she can unpack the revelations that they contain. Join Alison S. M. Kobayashi in an artist talk full of humour and sonic exploration. Follow the evolution of her twenty year career from early video art, to her performance Say Something Bunny! She'll invite you into her work in progress, Electric Neon Clock where she transforms her family’s WWII internment file into a documentary installation interweaving archival material, video, sound and immersive performance.
