In Between a Cute Ripple of Desire - solo show
Nieuwe Vide - Haarlem - 2021 This show was divided into four rooms, each of them tainted with different colors of light and each of them reflecting on the wide spectrum of cuteness.
✦Pink room:
In the welcoming pink room, a soundtrack was played through the speakers hanging out from the ceiling. The tracks combined musical elements of pop and hyper-pop with my voice singing melodies and jingles on top. The lyrics of the songs were ripples from the small essay I wrote about cuteness that was presented during the show as well.

In this part of the exhibition, you could listen to whispering thorugh a thunder, an audio track where a soundscape of a storm unfolds into a voice imitating wind and trying to speak using a single breath of air each time. Throughout the sound piece, the storm and other artificially created sounds from a “natural” environment start slowly to give space to erotic whispers and cute sounds.
The wall artworks that were shown with this sound piece were alluding to the water element of the tracks; to the artificiality of nature by imitating raindrops over a window and a mirror. The process of reducing the storm to isolated sounds until it transform into voice was also signaled on the sculptures. In one of the mirror pieces, you could read through liquid resin the phrase: “I want to feel emotion without reduction, Why don’t you drop in the floor and drip”
