«Intervention on Frequency» is a performance series focusing on sound practices and asks the question: What happens when body and sound meet? Works that represent different positions on pressing issues around race, gender, and sexuality are shown.

«My hair woke up horny as fuck» is an exploration of body memory and desire, in which the movements, drawn from ancestral dances in relation to the earth and fertility, are transformed into a form of ritual and transcendent expression. By associating poetry to movement, and using symbols from her persian cultural heritage, such as the pomegranate, the mirror and the snake, the artist embodies an encounter between vulnerability and power, transporting us into the depths of emotions and sensuality as a transformative power.

This sonic collaboration is an exploration of the body’s memory and desire, taking you to a place where movement becomes a form of ritual and transcendent expression. Playing with different rhythms and intensities, it evokes an encounter between vulnerability and power, blurring the boundaries between a vibrant club and the intimacy of a bedroom. ven3mo believes in the transformative power of music. She uses sound as a vector to reconnect with some lost memories, places and parts of herself. This reconnection allows her to create games of coincidence and a personal mythology. Her playfield lies in heavy drums and sensual rhythms with the desire to thrill the senses.

Alexandra Sheherazade Salem is an artist, poet and performer based in Geneva, Switzerland. Writing and poetry form the core of her practice, which extends into the realms of performance, video, and installation. Her work revolves around the preservation of memory and the act of nurturing, in a search for the meaning of home.

Fatima Wegmann Guinassi is a Geneva-based artist, researcher, producer and DJ (aka ven3mo). She is interested in exploring notions of transformation and enchantment through an audiovisual practice intertwined with poetry, affective sounds and science fiction.

This work was curated by Antoine Simeão Schalk and Danniel Tostes for the performance series «Intervention on Frequency» at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst.
