Aileen Campbell presents new video works in which two "sound dreamers" escape from themselves, until their performance slips away. The artist uses structures of music-making to elicit feelings of empathy, sensation, event, nostalgia and illusion which buffer or distract the viewer from social conventions of judgement. During absence, daydream or trance, the voice and ear can begin to transcend the physical and local and an alternate time experience becomes possible. These male 'sound dreamers' become sites for new aesthetic experiences formed the projected voice.
