X Steps Through A Forest

X Steps Through A Forest is an audio work that takes a form of an experiential audio guide. It consists of 15 tracks that as a series of movements lead the listener on a journey through a forest. Guiding one’s awareness towards the resonances between the forest environment and one's own body. The audio work plays with the idea of the forest as a living mnemonic device, that evokes memories as well as recomposes them as one moves through it.

The listeners are encouraged to listen to the tracks during a walk through their neighboring forest. But it is intended also for those who for any reason find themselves unable to do so. With hopes that these mnemonic evocations help transpose oneself into a lively forest eco-system from wherever one is.

This work was created for If Forests Talk, an online program for Singapore Art Week 2021.
