The work is dedicated to Ziv Matushka (1971-2020) My work is about vibration force and its ability to create an effect on an individual as well as on a collective (unconscious). Vibration manifests as sound and influences both our physical and mental being. The work explores this notion within the context of club music (techno), where bodies share space on the dancefloor and influence each other. Therefore music functions as a mediator between bodies. As sound can evoke emotions and can trigger the (collective) unconscious, a range of feelings can be expressed on the dancefloor. Those feelings are revealed through the surface of our bodies. The club is a loop of music, feelings, emotions and bodies, contrasting, influencing and moving each other. The work is constructed using three parts; candles in the shape of an egg, sound which slowly evolves into a techno track and a 3D animation video. Each element functions as a separate theme which together act as a collective. On its surface, each candle has a sign of a ring within a ring which correlates with the way that Sara Ahmed refers to fear and how it shows on the surface of bodies. In this way, the information of our emotions transfers between bodies. The sign also resonates with the shape of a speaker and of sound waves.
The egg represents the unknown, a phase before birth, and is a common archetype of life (Orphic Egg). It represents a new potential and the cycle of life. The sound acts as a mediator between all of the elements. It starts as an abstract ambient and slowly develops into a techno track. The sound then moves the candles’ flame to the frequencies and the rhythm. The video is constructed using 3D renders of myself covered with different textures. It represent time lapse, decay, death, life cycle,growth and traumaץ
