My work is multidisciplinary and focused on the connection between voice, body, breath, sound, field recordings, sound poetry, listening, movement and improvisation. I investigate and explore the realm of acoustic sounds and electronic interfaces as extension of human voice. Art and life, sound and movement, the common line is the improvisation which leads me to research and to create new worlds.
I want to be a membrane through which places, visions, sounds, memories, voices, travel. My work incorporates all the experiences I make by living, by travelling, by l i s t e n i n g .
Everything spawns from the urgency I carry inside myself,
and from the need to create an artistic dimension I belong to, an intimate and
pure dimension devoid of any sort of strict rules, and shareable with whoever
wishes to be part of it. A search towards the essence, leading to a continuous
discovery of new worlds, real and unreal, deformed, imaginary, mystic,
irriverent and extreme worlds. Tuning in with the outside, with space and
events, actions become ritual, short circuit, a flow of alteration.
Cantante, sound e visual artist, compositrice, performer.
(nata nel novembre del 1982).
La mia ricerca artistica è multidisciplinare, e pone
l'attenzione sulla connessione tra voce, respiro, suono, field recording,
poesia sonora, ascolto, movimento e improvvisazione. Investigo lo spazio dei
suoni acustici ed elettronici, utilizzando interfacce elettroniche come
estensione della voce umana. Arte e vita, suono e movimento, hanno come linea
comune quella dell'improvvisazione, che mi guida nella ricerca e nella
creazione di nuovi mondi.
Voglio essere una membrana attraverso la quale, luoghi,
visioni, suoni, memorie e voci, viaggino. Il mio lavoro artistico incorpora
tutte le esperienze di viaggio, di vita quotidiana, in cui sono in ascolto.
Tutto è dettato dall’urgenza che porto dentro, dalla
necessità di creare una dimensione artistica che mi appartenga, una dimensione
intima, pura, avulsa da ogni tipo di regolamentazione imposta, e condivisibile
con gli altri che vogliano farne parte. Una ricerca verso l’essenza che porti a
scoprire continuamente nuovi mondi, reali e non, deformati, onirici,
immaginari, mistici, dissacranti, estremi. In ascolto con l'esterno, con lo
spazio,con gli eventi, l'azione diventa rituale, cortocircuito,flusso di
alterazione
