The overlap between sound, video and performance, and how they all are time-based mediums, is another aspect that influences my approach. | The overlap between sound, video and performance, and how they all are time-based mediums, is another aspect that influences my approach. | ||
APAL – Asian Performing Artists Lab | |||
I got to participate in a week long residency program. The idea of this residency is to give space to artists with an Asian background, living and working in Germany. This is a process-driven residency, where the focus is more on the exchange between the artists rather than the final outcome. We lived on a farm near Dessau, and the final presentation of the work took place at Berlin Ring Theatre. | |||
I was hoping to collaborate with other artists, especially those working with choreography. However, due to the limitation of time, this didn’t take place. But we’re planning to collaborate in the coming months, and hopefully for my thesis project. | |||
I produced an updated version of my radio piece, this was specifically for a live performance at the Ring Theatre. Research-wise, I went into a slightly new direction. Where I researched about ghost stories and specifically ghost stories from South Asia. The ghost stories from South Asia represent collective fears and traumas. They represent the expectations people have from gender (and patriarchy), unfinished cycles or the pain that cannot be expressed without the metaphor of ghost. Through a western lens, the ghost can be compared to the psychological aspect of Shadow. The Shadow is comprised of those qualities, impulses, and emotions that we cannot bear for others to see and thus cast into the hidden domain of ourselves | |||
In my performance, we tried to create an immersive atmosphere where people can listen to the sound piece. The lights, smoke and my shadow behind the projector were the other elements, along with the main element of sound. | |||
