Description (de)	„I see“ „with my voice“ beschäftigt sich mit Themen wie Transformation, Gestaltwandel und Materialität durch ein Zusammenspiel von literarischen Fragmenten und entliehenen Stimmen. Das Ergebnis ist eine nicht-lineare, fluide Erzählung, die die flüchtige Natur von Visionen, Träumen und Metamorphosen einfängt.
Description (en)	“I see” “with my voice” engages with themes of transformation, shapeshifting, and materiality through an interplay of literary fragments and borrowed voices, resulting in a non-linear, fluid narrative that encapsulates the ephemeral nature of visions, dreams, and metamorphoses. This project draws substantial inspiration from Alice Notley's The Descent of Alette, a transformative odyssey that employs rhythmic spoken language to explore continuous change. Alongside Notley’s influence, the works of Hildegard von Bingen, a 12th-century mystic, and the visionary narratives from the biblical book of Ezekiel, serve as foundational texts that inform the thematic and structural framework of this piece. The text is presented as an audio recording, whispered as a 20 minute loop. Visitors can listen to the piece when pressing their ear against the tents walls. My objects are performers, maybe even imposters: frozen in a state of change or mimicry. My objects are performers, maybe even imposters: frozen in a state of change or mimicry.
