This work was developed for a performance event at IKLECTIK as a part of the Performance Art Curatorial Fellowship of Valentina Peri.

In collaboration with Loïs Soleil.

The performance brings people together to extend the understanding of how love can be portrayed, unpacking language in an age of digital intimacy, and denouncing everyday sexism online. Drawing from hydro- and xenofeminist thinking, the performance takes care beyond the relationship of human dating and extends into another multiplicity of relationships. Sound emerges through touch and movement of the hydrophones, looper, and a poetry reading collecting Tinder bios, as a means of questioning the relationship between desire, language, dating, online sexism, and technology.
