the woods, the girl, the tree: Exploring the female scream in relation to nature

Abstract

This project consists of several iterations of a performance, accompanied by an essayistic and poetic text. Together they aim to investigate the female voice and the historical connotations of female sexuality in relation to nature. The project revolves around three tree trunks which I have used as co-performers to explore these questions. By interacting with the trees and lending them my voice within an industrial soundscape, I explore modes of communication between human, nature and machine, as well as the perception of the female body in a performative space.
