Pan Daijing, Corin, Waterhouse, Match Fixer
Event description
Liquid Architecture presents Pan Daijing (Germany / China)
With a presence that is viscerally and psychically gripping, Pan Daijing uses voice and synthesiser to create cathartic and paradoxical states of being in the space between music and sound. Oscillating between outbursts of intense noise and operatic bouts of diffuse theatricality, her performances offer a meditation on the voice under pressure - ecstatic, tortured, or both at the same time.
Raw and highly improvised, yet also lush and operatic, her practice encompasses performance art, dance and installation. Chinese-born, Berlin-based Daijing has released an acclaimed album debut, Lack, on PAN, and her ongoing projects comprise of Fist Piece, a complex choreography of film, sound and performance premiered in Kraftwerk at Berlin Atonal; In Service Of A Song, a performative installation shown in succession at Haus der Kulturen der Welt and at Galleria Isabella Bortolozzi; and The Speaker, a collaborative aural theatre piece premiered at St. Elisabeth’s Church in Berlin.
Pan Daijing is supported in Melbourne by CORIN, whose cybernetic mimicry produces an anomalous blend of human and machine; WATERHOUSE’s instinctive braids of raw sonic material; and the ever-renewing disorientation of MATCH FIXER.
