I listened to Dvořák way before SSY so the musical implications of the chosen soundpieces are... chilling. How the evening bell rings in II. Largo of Synphony no.9, then repeated as the closing sound of the show... The closing sound is rather loud as if to stress that the piece ends in II. At least from the perspective of Kamisu 66. Sounds rather calming and soothing. (With the overall implication that I. Adagio was the sound of the tyrannic HCB-Empire.) However the much stronger, even bombastic III. Molto vivace, and IV. Allegro are still to come to complete the piece.

My name is Jamel Duane Alatise, I’m an interdisciplinary artist, photographer, poet, director, and model. A British born Nigerian and Jamaican. I am also founder of a purposely-slow publication called People Journal.

I currently base my practice out of my small south London studio, and I am working with the Victoria and Albert museum on a learning and development programme for young people that ends in December 2024. 

I studied Performance and Creative Enterprise at Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Some highlights from my career so far are:

2018 commission by Barbican for their OpenFest, a poetry performance performed on their Highwalks; and a subsequent beginning of my Stories project for the art publication People Journal

2020 solo digital exhibition ‘The Portraiture of Jamel Duane Alatise powered by fujifilm instax’ plus a year long sponsorship by Fujifilm instax.

2021 photojournalism commission by the Young Vic theatre, documenting their first queer, trans, intersectional, and global majority-led show in collaboration with MAC Cosmetics; and a subsequent commission to direct a documentary about the production coming back on the main-stage two years later in 2023

2023 commission from TATE to respond to their Tate Modern exhibition, Liz Johnson Artur’s ’Time Don’t Run Here’, resulting in a performance of poetry which was also later adapted into a soundpiece exhibited alongside Liz Johnson Artur’s work; and a subsequent commission to respond again to Richard Bell’s work and travelling piece ‘Embassy’, which resulted in a live performance and series of theme discussions in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, alongside Richard Bell. 

POETRY

A small collection of poems from 2018 to 2020.

STORIES

Beginning first as a commission titled Satellites (video above), by the Barbican for their OpenFest, gathering anonymous, handwritten stories became a central part of my practice. Starting in 2018 with just a little over 30 accounts collected, and carried on over years, we now have a growing collection that’s steadily approaching thousands of contributions from anonymous people, across several languages including Chinese, English, French, Italian, Japanese, to name a few. 

The project has also been exhibited several times, and made into three different books and counting. 

PEOPLE JOURNAL

People Journal is a purposely-slow publication I founded in 2016 while working at another publication called SWVNK (and later Acure) – it started out of frustration, wanting to profile people that may not be the most popular but have really remarkable stories. Since it has grown into an active art project that documents people over longer time spans, focuses on the analogue, the handwritten, and the intimate moments between people during connections. In this respect, People Journal has been used as a vehicle to bring many together, foster connection, and encourage them to spend time offline, in real life, and doing something cathartic, whether in conversation or through arts and crafts.

My sound piece ‘Broken Hard Drive’ has been featured on the online sound gallery The Thames Submarine. 

It is a contact mic recording of an external hard drive, which had once stored my library of field recordings. The sound that you hear is the drive attempting to boot itself up. It is the rhythmic sound of corrupted data. 

You can find the piece below and don’t forget to listen to an interview with me talking about it here.

Untitled by Eleanor Mclean -Sound piece

(https://www.instagram.com/eleanormcleanstudio/)

“This audio piece is constructed of found footage from the episode ‘Eye of the Beholder’ from the Twilight Zone, which I have appropriated in the context of today’s isolation. The episode follows the story of a woman with a bandaged face amid plastic surgery who cannot see, nor can the audience see the other characters faces’. She expresses longing for acceptance and to reunite with the outside world, which I resonate with as she reflects on her memory of the clouds. This audio piece also touches on questioning positions of authority and control, and the mundane, as the end repeats the beginning; when will we be free and reunite with the outside world?”
