Moord - Cinzia Nistico
Moord is an audiovisual performance that stretches the act of killing and explore it from the prospective of the victim and that of the perpetrator. The attention is to the inner void that precedes and accompanies the murder and the loss of integrity and identity experienced by the victim. The analog visual effects, similarly to the live-digital soundscape, wrap up and often to shadow the flutist and her sounds. Her very existence is questioned throughout the performance. The focus is on the murderer inner state and their self-perception posing question on the very reality of their existence and accentuate the victim’s vulnerability.

Through their roots - Larysa Bauge
In this performance Bauge explores the topic of vulnerability through the notion of force feeding. "We are force-fed with the ideas of who we are, just like children are force fed with the food they hate". Primary physical material in this piece is the typical eastern european food - beetroots. "It is both a recurrent folkloric element and a symbol of heavy life of peasantry to which I was told I belong. It is also the food I hated and was force fed, earth-smelly and bloody-like".
Larysa Bauge is a performance artist raised in Belarus and currently based in Amsterdam. She was trained as an orchestra conductor, composed scores for films and worked as a DJ. Since 2016 she focuses primarily on visual and performance art. In her work she challenges the concepts of identity and belonging, exploring female body as an autonomous zone.
Bauge’s work is shown internationally in museums, art spaces and festivals including: Venice International Performance Week, Oslo Performance Art Festival, Riga Contemporary Art Biennale, Delhi Contemporary Art Week and Istanbul Performance Art Festival among other.
Unseen - Fani Konstantinidou
Unseen is an audiovisual performance - music composition inspired by W. Reich’s book Hey Little Man. The work aims at exploring the aspects of vulnerability from a political, cultural, and psychological perspective and explores the interrelation between sound and image. Sound recordings and images blend together with computer generated sonic material, creating a world of contrasts: real, imaginary, visible, invisible, seen, and unseen realities.
Fani Konstantinidou is a Composer and Sound Artist interested in the sonic imprints of cultural, cross-cultural, and social identities. Her work is characterized by urban and rural sonic environments, spoken language, culturally associated musical instruments, and computer generated sounds. She produces shifting sonic textures that circulate between drones, noise, arrhythmic melodies and atonal rhythms. With her music she explores the potential and the antitheses between analogue versus digital, and aims at musical dialogs and public communication through sound. Her latest solo album, Winter Trilogy/The Big Fall, is available by Moving Furniture Records.
