Kansai Bruises

Her Own Reflection

Hustlers of the world, there is one mark you cannot beat: the mark inside.

my imaginary friends (of which I have many) create durational performances that are based on improvisation, repetition, transients and resting.

They amplify bodies of sound by using microphones, turning material into a shared living scenery, making room for oneself, to carry the space and be carried, to locate consciousness as a rehearsal// so I listen to the bones in my fingers crack, my intestines, my shoulders pressing into the mattress. As resting figures// we lay down/ if I fall asleep, i’ll miss…without guilt/ our presence/ while I move in and out of focus, the sound persists.

❕ 22/08 live stream performance 'from the front seat of my car' from Crete, GR, on view until 22/09 @ Season Highlights - Kunstpodium T, Tilburg

Valentina Magaletti is a drummer, percussionist and composer whose goal is to strategically enrich a folkloristic and eclectic palette through endless listening and experimentation with new materials and sounds.
