The Whispering is an invitation to dwell within the spaces between sound and silence, light and shadow, presence and absence. This exhibition gathers a constellation of performance videos that move delicately along these thresholds, where gestures dissolve into breath, and stories are murmured rather than told.

The Sordoni Gallery will have this exhibition open Sept 16-Oct 8. Tuesdays to Fridays from 10am-5pm, Saturday and Sunday from 12pm-5pm.
