untitled

by May Zarhy

“My body knows unheard-of songs…” (Hélène Cixous)

‘untitled’ is a continuation of Zarhy’s exploration into the interweaving of body and sound. Through a (loose) tribute to Dan Flavin’s body of work, the work places itself in-between choreography and visual arts. Together with musician Elad Bardes Zarhy creates a resonating space of image and sound, where the image immerses and diverts from, and at times clashes with, the soundscape.
‘untitled’ cuts through language and dives into the flesh, operating in the field of the senses, aiming to reverberate in that which we all have: a body. Based on a series of recordings of their physical bodily activities that are sampled and recomposed in real-time, the artists compose a disorienting, fantastic and at times uncanny environment.

Through an aesthetic proposition, that is as much a performance, as a live sculpture or a transforming 3D painting, a physical experience takes place, triggering the spectator’s senses and demanding his*her full presence and sensitivity to be an imminent part of this rite.
