Format: 8-channel sound installation
 
Is an 8-channel sound installation exploring the porous boundaries between body and environment.
 
The work explores feminist and oceanic imaginaries, tracing the sonic paths of fluids and forces that traverse the membranes separating internal from external. 
 
The composition is built from field recordings captured by hydrophonic microphones placed inside the artists’s own body and in bodies of water — rivers, seas, swimming pools, showers, tap water. Tidal in nature, the piece emerges, swells and recedes, emphasising the tension between the intimacy of the body and the vastness of the ocean with the addition of environmental textures and vocal fragments recorded with omnidirectional and shotgun microphones. 
 
Listeners are invited into a visceral, meditative space where sounds leak, bleed, seep, and ooze, blurring the line between self and sea, voice and liquid, water and breath.

Soprano voice: Vida Matičič
