Synopsis
With my work compositions of unbroken flows, I am inviting the audience to an audio-visual journey through a landscape of thoughts on materiality and fluidity. Exploring the beautifully chaotic discourse on corporeal entanglement, I am questioning the borders and boundaries of the individual body.
Inspired by the craft of pottery and clay’s symbolism of matter, I use mechanised turning wheels to compose a swirling dreamscape that contextualises my research. Playing with the synchronicity of sound, image, and movement, as well as that of human and machine, I weave my own narrative into the discourse of bodily entanglement. Together we morph, move, spin, spiral, swirl, and dance.
