AURORA
AURORA is a performance in which I use my body as part of a feedback system and where I explore for the first time the relationship between space and sound in order to address and confront the theories of the Anthropocene and deep time.
It emerges from a research on the methodologies developed by the french composer Eliane Radigue on her Feedback Works (1969-1970), spetially what she latter called “feedback of reinjection”.
Dealing with feedback as a relational and material system, this performance poses some ontological questions about the relationships between bodies and their spaces and materialities.
AURORA started from a practice of diary writing as a record and cartography of this questioning. Over time, it became a practice of listening to the subjective dimensions of sound, geology, electronic and human bodies in order to make a series of practical speculations with them.
This project converges into a series of temporal sculptures within a sound installation, making use of the capture, production and reproduction of sound as physical material and language, to explore the relationships with geological, electromagnetic and human materials.
