Teinté(e) ⟷ Tinté(e) (creation)

Everything acts upon everything. In the philosophical path of Simone Weil, the body – perception, transformational space of artists, is that of a tinted / tingling vibration of the universe. From this interaction, is born an inner voice articulated by words – tones, and touched- blurred by things of this world. Anthropocene is harnessed to anterior and neo – contemporary signs: the soul – interiority, and foundation of the sound language of this work, becomes sensor, transmitter, animal, cave, extinctions, hard disk, stellar clusters, waves from Valentina Terechkova, all inseparable from a cosmic writing.

Production: Dominique Vermeesch (do.space), Transcultures.

Biography

« Dominique Vermeesch (do.space), who came to creation through artistic studies, and especially through drawing, has never ceased to look for new ways to render what looks more like a continuum than any “artwork”. The artist works and develops her questions through sound installations and videos, and includes her own body, during performances. These offer the opportunity for a mystical rendezvous through waves that she watches, with body, as a place of inscription for the world. Traveling through the history and philosophy of themes dear to her, she mixes existing documents with her works. She builds a whole world of dialoguing texts, sounds and images, from different eras and cultures. We cross together Hannah Arendt, Donna Haraway… images of the cosmos and Simone Weil, who reveals two fundamental aspects of her work: the link to the pulsation of the universe, and the references to the artists and authors who are dear to her.» F. Delvoye
