Recorded in this ubiquitous time of confusion and uncertainty, My Dear Kite (You Can But You Can't) - Late Yawnings 01h43  is an attempt to navigate the dilemma of a displaced in/out[door] activity of play, while simultaneously attempting to make sense of the socio-cultural consequences that will arise from the pandemic, as well as my own bodily and geographic [dis]placement from Johannesburg, South Africa, having recently moved to The Netherlands. Woven into these attempts are questions on what it means to be a creative practitioner, to be productive and the (in)ability to respond artistically.
