FULL MELTDOWN

Claire Lefèvre

FULL MELTDOWN is a choreographed guided tour through a radically soft space. Works by Berlin-based textile artist Sophie Utikal hover in the room: they can be sensed, caressed, or used to hide behind. A gentle soundscape composed by Zosia Holubowska cocoons the visitors´ ears. There is a field of bean bags where one can rest and a library corner for reading in peace. As they are (con)sensually lead from one intimate experience to another, the guests are encouraged to follow their intuition: would you like to put on headphones and listen to the sound of your breath? Do you want to feel needles and ink penetrating your skin? Would you prefer to wander around on your own and meet again later?

For the installation, Holubowska composed a 3 speaker soundscape that weaves the sounds of lullabies, vapor, water, and touching soft textures into a braid.
