無常 Mujō is an audiovisual performance exploring impermanence, transformation and the transient nature of experience through sound and moving image.
Developed as a sequence of interconnected scenes, the work combines generative visual processes with compositions built from manipulated field recordings, creating an evolving environment that moves between stillness, tension and release. Drawing inspiration from the Japanese concept of mujō- the impermanence of all things, the piece reflects on continual change and the fleeting nature of perception.
Presented as both a live performance and gallery-based screening, 無常 Mujō marked an early exploration of themes that continue to inform Harper's practice, including atmosphere, transformation and the relationship between sound, image and collective experience.
