FORIS | Frequencies of Resonance in Space

Outside




Foris. Latin. Outside.

That is where this series begins and where it insists on staying. Not a studio. Not a controlled environment. Not the kind of light you can predict or the kind of silence you can manufacture. FORIS places artists in specific geographies — a bay in Wānaka, a sculpture park on the edge of Hobart — and documents what happens when performance meets a place that doesn't adjust for you.

The series was developed through Moiré Creative Partners as an internal film practice. Each episode is a portal — into a landscape, into a state of performance, into the particular quality of attention that only arrives when you're somewhere that demands it.

Episode 01 — Diggy Sol: Bremner Bay

Wānaka, Aotearoa — 18.07.2025



They arrived early. The light wasn't right. The environment pushed back.

That resistance is part of the record.

Episode 1 documents Diggy Sol at Bremner Bay in Wānaka — a session built around instinct, patience, and the particular persistence required when a location refuses to cooperate on schedule. What emerged from the trial and the error and the physical weight of the environment was a moment of alignment that couldn't have been constructed. His remixes of J. Cole and Tupac vs Tom Misch move through the landscape rather than against it — sample flips that feel as inevitable as the water.

Episode 02 — KIAH: Glenorchy Art and Sculpture Park

Muwinina Country, Nipaluna, Lutruwita — 30.10.2025



A single take. Early sunset. Architecture framing the land around it.

GASP — the Glenorchy Art and Sculpture Park — is a site where the built and the natural are in deliberate conversation. Episode 2 arrived there with KIAH and a simple proposition: one take, no intervention, let the light change as it changes.

As the afternoon shifted, the tone of her performance shifted with it. Her rendition of Nina Simone's Feeling Good unfolded not as a cover but as a document — of a place, a moment, and a voice finding its register in the open air.



The Practice

At Moiré Archive, observation is a discipline. The camera here is not a production tool — it is an instrument of attention, trained equally on the performer and the territory they inhabit. FORIS does not stage the environment. It enters it.

These films exist as evidence that the courage required to create openly — in public, in weather, in the unrepeatable conditions of a specific afternoon — is itself a form of intelligence worth documenting.
