Body as sculpture, voice as its echo.
Like a fence with porous boundaries, always shifting.
A detective of dubious attempts, chasing the heavy
and the barely graspable.

Process over permanence, movement over resolution.
An ongoing experiment where form is but a momentary pause —punctuated by Notes app poetry.



Don’t be afraid to suffer—take your heaviness / and give it back to the earth’s own weight / the mountains are heavy, the oceans are heavy. ∆ Rainer Maria Rilke, from Sonnets to Orpheus ∆  




Supramodal
01:30:00The performance is built on my curiosity about whether my relationship with sculptures alters the way the audience perceives three-dimensional objects.

Inter-sensory communication is much more flexible than we assume. Each modality can process data beyond its own domain. The brain's touch-related areas can integrate information from visual and auditory regions.

How much can what we hear manipulate what we see? I will continue exploring this question for a while. (And finally,) can we call this form of inter-sensory communication the “yin and yang” of perception?

Keep touching, smelling, and listening to sculptures.

Special thanks to @gulbineris for archiving the performance.
