The recordings capture the voices of a New York family spanning 1952 to 1954. The narrative contained in the recording is a puzzle peppered with fragmented and overlapping dialogue, a charming living room drama rich with the eccentricities of family dynamics performed for the tape recorder. Decoding the document and using it as both soundtrack and inspiration, Kobayashi creates a new installation containing videos, drawings and book works that reimagine the events, characters, and references from the recording Over several performances, an intimate audience is privy to a script \u2018read through\u2019 where Kobayashi acts as both director and performer, contextualizing the recording with her research (and imagination) and tangentially exploring character\u2019s personal histories \u2014 from the Ivy League to the pornographic. In Kobayashi\u2019s practice, \u201cpersonal histories get farther from fact as we learn to tell a better story.\u201d Say Something Bunny! plays with what authentic memory is, preserving narrative details from source material and fictionalizing the rest.<\/p><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-row-container\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-equal-height vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-d0fd5def\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-d0fd5def\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-41b65274\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-41b65274\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-41b65274\"><div class=\"vce-vim-video-player vce-vim-video-player--align-left vce-vim-video-player--size-1280x720\"><div class=\"vce vce-vim-video-player-wrapper\" id=\"el-88fe06f2\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-88fe06f2\" style=\"width: 1280px;\"><div class=\"vce-vim-video-player-inner\"><iframe class=\"vce-vim-video-player-iframe\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/356491025?autopause=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;muted=0&amp;color=00adef&amp;loop=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-text-block\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-46dc6104\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-46dc6104\"><p>Say Something Bunny! in Working in the Theatre: Documentary Theatre.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PerformanceUndo Project Space, 511 West 20th Street NY, New York2017-2020&nbsp;Performance + Installation2016Gallery TPW, Toronto&nbsp;saysomethingbunny.com&nbsp;Kobayashi presents a performance and exhibition based on two audio spools hidden inside an obsolete wire recorder purchased at an estate sale.
