In this live performance choreographed for Case Gallery's group exhibition Sounds the Mouth Can't Make, Andros Zins-Browne and co-collaborator Ley creates a perpetual entanglement of distance, violence, and closeness through interaction with Rebecca Watson Horn's paintings, also included in the show. untitled vowels blurs the lines between conversation and performance through a movement-based language system that uses embodied and vocal signaling to transmit messages across space. In an accompanying sound piece installed in the gallery, Zins-Browne and Ley expand on this choreographic evolution of language through a libretto composed of multiple texts, rewoven through harmonies and dissonances.

Zins-Browne and Ley wear Victoria Bartlett’s sculptural costume designs as they perform together. Enhancing the space between bodies in motion with transformative and fluid structures, Bartlett’s designs intend to give shape to Zins-Browne and Ley’s movements throughout the gallery space. Throughout the run of show, the wearable sculptures will remain on display on armatures, reacting to Horn’s Semaphores and Zins–Browne’s corresponding sound piece.
