Project 3
Mud and Sticky Band2021-2023

Music band made of monster-like characters built from pop-culture waste, recycled materials and natural remains. This object-oriented sculptural band emits sound and voices from its insides, taking the shape of a sound installation. 

The process consisted of an embodied research in natural and urban locations around the Netherlands in order to explore desire with sound, texture, movement and shape. I took Sara Ahmed’s Orientations: Toward a Queer Phenomenology as a instruction manual to navigate these locations while analyzing the relationship between bodies, space, other non-human bodies and matter. I have included methods such as intuitive collection of objects and their re-organization; recordings of soundscapes; notations of movements and choreographs instigated by objects, bodies and space; thorough sound descriptions of the environment; conversations with friends; workshops with students, amongst others. 

This project has been guided by an interest in finding new ways of relating to matter,  ‘nature’ and the environment, while allowing my own desire and subjectivity to be moved and transfomed by this relation.
