The project Dear Daughter consists of a series of voice-based live performances, video documents and performative speech installations. In these works, I interweave my own experiences and thoughts on crucial elements in female life -such as pregnancy, birth, mothering and female sexuality- with text fragments from feminist literary sources. I then perform the text collages through hybrid technological forms.
Dear Daughter/Motherboard Theories of Evolution (w/ Braidotti, Plant et aliae), 2014-2019, is a speech to the new born daughter, performed wearing a baby carrier and computer/textile. Text fragments of different origin is interwoven and combined in a sound collage on femininity, history, language and technology.
