Seeluft

– A Three-Part Collaboration Across Media and Borders

Seeluft is a poetic and visceral exploration of trembling bodies, ancestral resonance, and sonic transformation. What began as a film evolved into an installation and later a live performance — each format revealing new dimensions of the same research. At its core, Seeluft is a collaborative investigation into the textures of the body, breath, memory, and sound.

Part I — The Film

The project began with the creation of a short film in collaboration with videographer Jonatan Salgado Romero, Guqinmusician Li-Yu You, sound designer and intermedia artist Lin WanQian, and costume designer Julio Escudero.

Drawing inspiration from the poetry of Mathias Richard, we worked with close-ups of the body — its skin, sweat, and trembling — to approach intimacy not as exposure, but as presence. We explored the friction and fusion between ancient and contemporary frequencies: ancestral Asian sonic textures through the Guqin, layered with immersive electronic sound design and physical imagery.

Part II — Video Installation

The film was later expanded into a video projection installation presented in an art gallery in Berlin, where the moving image became a living surface — breathing and vibrating in relation to the viewer. The installation invited visitors into a sensory landscape where sound and image moved in tandem with the body’s micro-expressions, shifting between dream and material presence.

Part III — Live Performance

In the final stage, Seeluft was performed live at the ProArt Festival in Brno, Czech Republic, featuring myself as dancer and choreographer, Li-Yu You on Guqin, and Lin WanQian as sound designer and performer.

This version drew from Le Bateau Ivre (The Drunken Boat) by Arthur Rimbaud, merging poetry and presence into an ecstatic and politically charged physical state. In this live dialogue, homesickness and disillusion unfolded not as nostalgia but as motion — a body adrift, weaving memory and desire into sound and skin. Ancient melodies and contemporary frequencies converged, creating a hybrid performance space where vibration became meaning.

This collaboration between artists from Brazil, Taiwan, France, Argentina, and Spain reflects our shared commitment to crossing disciplinary and cultural boundaries. It is an ongoing invitation to dwell in the in-between — where dance, music, fashion, poetry, and technology converge to reimagine the body as archive, antenna, and landscape.
