Natural Disappearances ~ Mutek 2021
Natural Disappearances
In ‘Natural Disappearances’ Sofie Birch presents an improvised live performance in collaboration with video artist Dalin Waldo. With a simple setup of hardware, Sofie Birch explores the subtleness of loops fading unnoticeable into silence while constantly creating space for new loops and movements to take over. Placed in a plant store in the middle of Copenhagen, the theme of disappearance and new beginnings seems to resonate with the lively environment of the plants surrounding her. Dalin Waldo has a floating yet headstrong approach to creating authentic and quirky visual environments constantly pushing limits with humor and kindness. During Sofie Birch’s performance, their spells combine to create an elastic and organic vacuum of pure improvisation and magic, taking us into an imaginary jungle of repetition.
Presented at Virtual MUTEK 2021 by Insomnia as part of the SHAPE Platform, funded by Creative Europe.
