Swinging Grams
Sonic Performance/ Installation
With a small electronic instrument floating at the center of the stage, Nene del Solar creates a soundscape woven from rhythms and sounds captured from a land plundered by gold mining. The performance is an exploration of the elasticity of human body that is seeking to extract this radiant artifact from the very heart of the performance space.
Performance presented at GAK - Gesellschaft fur Aktuelle Künst -
From jewelry to electronics, from the sun to the divine, from rivers to blood. The elusive gold contained in electronic instruments to conduct energy, is extracted first from the earth. This performance installation swings on the idea of what happens when a grain of gold is extracted, to be installed in microchips and circuits of electronic devices.
