Trust in Co-composition: tracing temporal dynamics in relational research

Iain Findlay-Walsh
Tristan Partridge


These two experimental films draw on our experiences of collaboration in relational research methodologies, (auto)ethnographic inquiry, and sound art practice. They form part of our iterative processes of exploring ‘co-composition,’ an evolving practice of hearing, and sounding, differentially situated collectivities. These are processes that rely less on trusting the judgment of others and are instead built by developing shared intuition(s). Structured within everyday digital communications contexts characterized by universalizing, overwhelming fleetingness, trust-as-praxis instead asks us to operate at speeds that enable mutual conversations to take place – through commitments to embodied forms of interaction that foster care, sensitivity, and reciprocity.
