Twenty Truant Shapes was a twelve hour performance installation by Nathan Walker.

The performance comprised an installation of low structures and apertures that framed my body in parts – a site where language, speech, and memory were also dissected.

Twenty Truant Shapes was a durational performance that sustained a tension between interior and exterior sound, visible and invisible bodies, and light and heavy forms.
