Ongoing multimedia research project – performative installation

The project takes on the theme of terraforming Mars, as a plead to return our gaze from the wonders of technological utopia to our very sense of being human. Emphasising the conscious act of deep listening, Pauline Oliveros’ sonic meditations are proposed as open gates to a personal inner experience, while an audio-visual narrative envelops the outer layer of the performance space.
The project Listen. Do you remember the sound of my voice? represents an independent year-long personal and artistic research process, aiming to open up spaces for dialogue and exchange between forms of expression and presentational formats. Conceived initially as a radio piece, the focus of the work is directed towards the conscious act of listening – inner listening, outer listening and all-encompassing listening. It is a journey into bits and fragments of a consciousness, that is no more able to grasp its present reality and is fragmented between different temporal / psychological states.

Three working phases drove the research process, tested within a performance situation: a narrative concert (Bucharest, RO – Mansarda, April 2023); performed installation (Zürich, CH – Zentralwäscherei, Jul 2023); immersive space, immersive audio implementation (Leipzig, DE – ZiMMT, Sept 2023). The work had its most extensive presentational format as a whole event (Basel, CH – HUMBUG, Jan 2024), with invited guests. It consisted of a two-layered fixed installation (an immersive sonic environment accommodating the intimate experience of the sonic meditations), live sound performances (KITE – own work), performance in space (VanBau – Civitas) and afterparty (DJ Shlepa / Tatiana Timonina). Finally, the work has been presented as a live feature performance at SNIPPET Festival Basel, April 2024.
