imaginary habitats

 

Ute Wassermann interweaves her voice with field recordings of birds, insects, frogs – of creatures that move across the boundaries between air, water and earth and finds new and different resonance places far away from their original environment. Fragile, seemingly natural sounds, such as the buzzing of bees under water, can be transformed into technoid drones. Snippets of soundscapes ghost through objects. Does the singer retain her identity or does she become the ‘other’? The boundary between self and environment becomes fluid, so that the latter itself becomes an illusion in favour of a more complex reality. The binaries of animal and human, object and human, nature and technology are turned upside down in favour of interwoven relationships based on reciprocity.
