Armado, 2010, Galeria Progetti
“Armado” is a sculpture made for the touch. Every gest and its intesity makes the net react in sound, amplifying its own structure.
In this performance, “The Airplane Samba” (Samba do Avião), by the world-known Brazilian bossa nova composer Tom Jobim, is sang verse by verse. Each verse is reversed by an audio system and played backwards. The performer then tries to sing the verses simulating the inversion. When the simulation of the inverted verse satisfies her, she inverts them again in order to recreate the song to its original form.
In “Double Oral Incorporation”, the performer uses two microphones (one with a masculine voice filter and the other with a feminine) to create a dialog with herself. To compose this chat, the artist chose dialogs from Brazilian straight porn movies.
