The Molecular and the Mole, 2016 At what point does a piece of the body represent a consciousness? Why does the brain represent consciousness to begin with? And where has the recent history of molecular study taken our understanding of cognitive reflexivity. Inspired by the futuristic essay films of Chris Marker and Harun Farocki – The Molecular and the Mole is an film essay narrated by Cecilia Lopez, an experimental composer. She exhibits otoacoustic emission, where the curvature of her ear creates sounds that significantly mixes with everyday perception. I asked her to narrate the film for this reason; to share this inversion of faculties . At certain moments, her voice becomes entangled in this sound as her own sonic inflections add layers to the film's positionality.
