Azul de Monte with Raffia Li



carried by invisible bodies is a series of performance evenings showcasing feminist and queer performance and sound artists in Amsterdam and the surrounding local context. It took place at de Ruimte and Sexyland in 2022 and was co-organised with Isadora Tomasi.


Dear, 

remember when you moved in space and a soundless disturbance made you turn? Like a mighty revelation made you realize something; an entity was following you, tangentially, in unison, in anticipation, in delay with your movements. 

You had been touched by invisible bodies.
Now, what accompanies your journey along the four-chapter performative event at De Ruimte, are not ghostly projections, but vibrant visions shared through a multitude of practices related to the body and its many virtualities.

For the next months, cyclically, the invited artists will populate the embodied and virtual space between bodies, objects, ideologies, selves, intimately conspiring with the fictional and fluid concept of identity. Their languages of synchronic verbal tenses and audiovisual scores will curb and project you in the prysm of life possibilities. 

In the process, you may be aroused by the blurriness of organs and dreams, and let go of the idea you are contained only by your skin. You came a long way, you will be leaving, because you are here and where, if you were, where we will be.

We hope to meet you there.
