Program Cathy van Eck (1979, Netherlands) composes relationships between everyday objects, human performers, and sound. She is interested in setting her gestures into unusual, surprising or poetic relationships with sounds, mainly by electronic means. The result could be called performative sound art, since it combines elements from performance art, electronic music, and visual art.
Description In this work, Cathy van Eck introduces a specific action in the passage of the Kasernenareal and explores how this transforms the space. Amplified by a sound system, the artist performs an almost ritualistic action. Her body works with the space in a dialogical dimension of correspondence through an interactive sound system that becomes a prosthesis of the body itself. This is a performance conceived as an archeological exercise in searching for the unseen aspects of places.
