SKINS (..these internal microphones these external antennae)
Performative Installation
SOMMERSZENE Performing Arts Festival &
Stadtgalerie Lehen / Salzburg
2024
A body that dances, glides, glistens, moves as if it were under water. The boundaries blur, not only between outside and inside. What is underneath the skin is washed upwards, finds form and enters into dialogue. SKINS is created as a performative installation between sound, dance and visual art. It is conceived against the backdrop of an examination of the history of medicine, the development of medical instruments and diagnostic technologies. Sculptural objects serve as instruments to explore the body space. The performers do not use the objects functionally, but enter into a resonance relationship with them.
