Heavy Vibrations is a collaboration with Marlijn Karsten. I created a performative interaction with her auditive and spatial installation.

Phallic objects vibrate to the beat of sexist pop songs, slowly moving around the room. I move from creature to creature, conversing with them about banal, daily occurrences and small talk. Due to the fact that only half of the conversation can be understood the audience is confronted with ambiguous conversation fragments that trigger different associations and narratives.
