Public Ego

Deep underneath, covered by the soil, the seam travels in-between different sizes of life, knotting and unwinding or calming tides, building and deconstructing architecture made by intergenerational memory - just as movement. There an ambient form of rage glides, smoothly but certainly, as if there is no good or bad but just an occurrence.

Can we be there to listen, to be together. There is a parable about a storm on a flower. Is there only goodbye to life?

 

Public Ego is a durational installation performance. It explores the potential and the strength of tactile deep listening, through visible and invisible spatial sculpting mainly generated by sound, silence, clay, in-between ourselves and the waves that leak from the bodies. It is something in-between a sound bath, performance, and bodywork session, akin to a subtly contagious social acupuncture.
