Sonic Reading, OPEN STUDIO'S, curated by CENTRE CULTUREL SUISSE, Cité Internationale des Arts Paris, 2024

TENDER TEXTURES is a series of (sound-) readings, performed at different occasions as rile* Brussels 2024, Open Studios in Cité des Arts 2024, Paris, curated by Centre Culturel Suisse 2024, Residency Sharing Dampfzentrale Bern 2025. 

The spoken texts consists of dreams, sensual-somatic observations, scripts and speculations. They are searching for a certain consciousness, expanding the (hyper-)sensitivity of the own tissue to the textural, material world and trying to find a vocabulary for it. The poems oscillate from affective-subjective ‘I’ to an attempted, (im)possible dissolution, from the semantic to sound; the words become incomprehensible vocals and vibrations, literally noise, as an inclusive space for all unheard voices.
