Liminal Phase
solo audio-visual spectacle
ARS Projectspace, Tallinn
This project focuses mainly on two phenomenons: liminality and chaos. Both subjects are considered as mental affects of ambiguity and disorientation that occur in the middle of witnessing a particular state (such as in concert, theatre, art exhibition): when participants no longer hold their pre-conceptual prejudice but have not yet begun the transition to the position they’ll hold when the experience is complete.

Killer Image: Shifting Modes of Desire
duo-solo exhibition with Laivi
Hobusepea Gallery, Tallinn
The exhibition's installation consisted of two industrial cargo boxes, that had sound sources mounted inside of them. The wooden containers functioned as acoustic soundboxes for the audio sources mounted inside.
The sound installation piece’s task is to function as a buffer, between the material and conceptual approach. Realizing divine ideas in mundane, physical space: creating identifiable associations between the perceived idea and the conquered space. The liminality, or threshold as a quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle of witnessing when participants no longer hold their pre-conceptual prejudice but have not yet begun the transition to the position they will hold when the experience is complete. During the visitor's state of presence, one stands at the threshold between their previous way of structuring their identity, social world and a being in time, and a new way which the experience establishes. These machinations hold key properties to altered perceptions to enhance our everyday routines.

When I Was a Girl & Life Was Yet Ahead
live sound design for artist Laivi's installative fashion performance
ARS Project Space, Tallinn
The framework of the sonic output places elements of dreary feedback-heavy, deep sinking ambiance in a vaguely dreamlike yet spatially active industrial hall.

The ethereal voice of the narrator leads the path through dense layers of steely drone sound fields. Dreaming of secure times through naïve enthusiasm, regaining that innocence ... pure joy

"The Night Your Mate Danced Like a Tree"
sound design for Laura Põld's exhibition
Hobusepea Gallery, Tallinn
Successive 4 x 4 traditional dance floor rhythmic motive carries out the basic functionality of congruent infinity. Hypnotic mood shifts gently from pulsing anxiety to a gentler lucidity. Propulsive techno derivates conduct the excursion through the overtly presented relation between material and invisible qualities.

A courious space filled with exquisitley subtile yet raw aesthetics. Profound examination of body, age, gender, ubiquitous virtual space and the unavoidable present continious. An experimental synthesis of perceptual implementation over the lessons learned.
