SOUND POETRY OF ARTWORKS
Does visual art have sounds? Well, to me it has! I do gallery sound poetry performances for instance for vernissage or finissage related to the exhibited artworks.

IMPROVISING GOYA
Have you ever heard Goya?! I voice-sound some of Goya’s Caprichos as an interaction performance with sound poetry and poems. There are different versions of this performance. For instance: Papers turned upside down are spread across the stage and the audience choose which paper I should "do". On the papers are photo copies of some of Goya's Caprichos or some poems of mine. Performed first time in Berlin 2023 at Backsteinboot.
DAS WORT HAT EINE INNERE FARBE: Short avantgarde abstract performance
A sound poem with abstract word combinations and performed with different voices and tones related to the primary colours. The title is inspired by DAS WORT IST EIN INNERER KLANG from the sound poem by Vasilij Kandinsky (1912).
My poem is divided in three parts which are related to the primary colours and to my synesthesia ability that makes me see words and letters in colours. First part BLAU is written on a blue circle, second part GELB on a triangle and third part ROT on a square. These were the geometric forms that Kandinsky saw for the primary colours. Kandinsky was a teacher at the Bauhaus school in the earlier years.
First performance at the (temporary) Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung as part of Lange Nacht der Museen 2023.
