Performance by Clea Filippa & Beate Poikāne with sound by composer Andrejs Poikāns
45 min, 2022
OSCILLATING BEASTS AND OTHER REVELATIONS is a sensorial collage formed by sound, sculptural structures, imagery and movement. Departing from studies on the sensual relationship between human and material, the work is an immersive mosaic of enhanced, distorted and sampled poectis of elements in the space. A beguiling field of surreal and tender compositions emerge, exploring ways of performing with objects through shifting hierarchies between human, material and medium, drawing upon object oriented ontology and new materialism ideas.
Our collaborative meeting bounces in the liminality between visual art and contemporary performance. We work intuitive, assoicative and process-based, using potentials of tension and incoherence within the work as ways to unfold multiplicity and internal logics.
