Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of mapping as a process in flux, the work seeks to materialize invisible structures of digital power, making tangible the ways in which Big Data reorganizes social, economic, and spatial relations. Parts of the piece are In Situ, resulting from an artistic research and exploration of the city/venue. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/W2674117303337886511560584029804/"Mirror of Wounds" teaser Mirror of Wounds - an empowering multimedia performance premiered in Dezember 2024 in Bern (Switzerland) and awarded the Ammann-Falb Prize. This performance merges violin, bass clarinet, percussion, and live electronics with text, light, video, and symbolic objects such as red threads and mirrors. Structured in distinct scenes, the work directly challenges stereotypes of non-male bodies in music: What is expected from a woman on stage? Why is appearance valued over artistic quality? How does the pressure to “be as good as men” shape our experience in a male-dominated field? Through collective improvisation without a fixed score, each musician contributes equally with her own voice, resisting hierarchies and shaping a safe space for shared expression. The result is a multilayered performance where sound, image, and gesture confront gendered expectations in music while fostering a conscious space of solidarity and togetherness. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/O2674118449600116507798411896428/Mirror of Wounds - production teaser Mirror of Wounds – Work in Progress (Trailer) A glimpse into our ongoing creative process for Mirror of Wounds.
