Landscape 3 OeOEe: Luis A. Lara Malvacías, Ivo Bol and Joris van Perlo

Landscape 3 OeOEe
Do objects have memory? Is memory an object or a hyperobject? What is a hyperobject? If human memory can reside in the skin, can we say that the “skin of objects” holds memory? Inviting objects and things as active participants, choreographer and multidisciplinary artist Luis A. Lara Malvacías and composer Ivo Bol explore these questions in their new collaboration. With a trans-disciplinary composition for 30 radios, musical robots, movement, plants, lights and video they will explore the “power” inherent in the presence of non-human or more than human beings in performative situations, and to activate memory.
