Installation with Live Performance
silicone costume and 2 projections, floor object with 2 contact mics, laptop and stereo system 20min, at changing room Berlin, DE, 2023
The performance visualizes nonverbal communication processes among bees and spiders.
It is a diagram of how they translate their spatial perception to one another.
The two performers watch the projection in front of them on the wall. The projections show a point of view perception from an insect slowly moving through a
landscape and later through the inside of a house.
The projection allows the audience to see what the performers see. The performers move in space and because they are connected through the silicon costume they are effected by each other’s movement without seeing each other. Two silicon tubes with small metal spheres attached at the end hang down in the center of the costume and occasionaly touch the sculpture on the floor. Every time they touch the hollow sculpture, sounds are audible because two contact mics are attached to the floor sculpture and connected to a laptop that layers different sound effects on the incoming sound waves.
