Everyday objects and natural materials turn into musical instruments in Hans Beckers' work. In the sound installation SONITUM VODA, Hans investigates the sound of water. Can you create music with steam? Can water be melodically and rhythmically played? bubbling rhythms,
hissing water vapors, dripping notes, sloshing melodies, … a whole arsenal of water sounds are transformed into music. Hans explores the boundaries between music and performance, between sound and visual arts.

Debris - Agnese Forlani

Debris is a piece born by the desire of reflecting upon my own body and on the many memories that are in itself accumulated. The collaboration with the sculptor Jackson Shallcross-Platt started with a personal interest in confronting materialities other than the body itself and led to a research of materials that could cooperate with the theme of fragility, injury and broken body. Debris wants to reflect on the idea of ‘normal body’ and on the process of recovery, questioning if a state of normality can be ever gained back with the latter. Working with plaster has challenged the body’s freedom of movement bringing it into stillness and asked for an accurate study of its intrinsic physical, sensorial and visual properties, to then find a way to bring the material in dialogue with the body. The senses of sight, touch and hearing were key elements to find an embodiment specifically born through the dialogue between the two. The piece does not want to be a chronological display of the process of injury and recovery, but rather a collection of elements of a personal history mingled in such a way to create a new narrative.
