KARMEN PONIKVAR
Species of Spaces
Species of Spaces
LIVE PERFORMANCE
Karmen Ponikvar is a sound artist and a performer born in Slovenia, currently residing in The Hague, where she is studying sound at the Institute of Sonology. Tuning her ears through various means of recording, listening methodologies, and performative practices, she aims to make sound the centerpiece of our shared lived experience. Through microtonal sonic structures, sculptures of spatial imaginaries and speculative philosophies of perception, she explores the intricate relationships between sound, space and place. Weaving field recording, amplified objects and experimental electronics she craft performances that encourage attentive listening, promote reflections and foster care.
Her performance Species of Spaces will gently stimulate the senses through sound, focusing on the fragility of sonic gestures and the richness of tiny, ephemeral sonic details. Guided by the natural rhythms, fluent bodies and intermaterial vibrational qualities, she seeks to uncover fictional ways of understanding the epoch that we live in.
