“Listening or of Empathy and Echo” is a series of disjointed transcripts developed out of 2.5 hours of audio recorded interviews conducted in December 2016 by friends of the artist. Through textual arrangements that mirror the physical spaces and other formal methods of redistribution that facilitate the “spiritual exercise” of the interview, Momoh’s work investigates possibilities that would allow for the observer to engage. In addition to the text-based component, “Listening or of Empathy and Echo” is also a full length studio LP which exists as a function of a “series of disjointed transcripts,” only developed out of memories, conversations and possibly interviews.
