CGiii Comment

Much like a voice message, the relationship forged between Miss Communication and Girl Talk, 2015, isolates articulation from utterance. Girl Talk displays a written transcript of the voice messages synchronized to the audio track of Miss Communication in the manner of a karaoke monitor. The two-channel video portrait yields to the third screen for a performance by Moten that translates the conversation into an image. Dressed in a flowy gown decorated with crystals, Moten swirls in his role as drag mother. Video is slowed down (an instance of time drag), as is audio: a version of Moten’s favorite song, Betty Carter’s jazz standard Girl Talk, updated by JosiahWise.
