Information
When humans wage war, the landscape suffers injury. What would a piece of land with a bomb crater in it have to say? How can we humans hear the voices of the animals, plants, stones and soil when the explosions finally stop, and pass on their stories? null & void is a legal term and means as much as ‘worthless, without legal force’. Here, it describes a half-human performer’s lonely attempt in a desolate landscape to listen to the forgotten, neglected and silenced voices of non-human beings. On a soundscape of (not just) white noise, Agata Siniarska searches for extinct and/or not yet existing organs of perception to see more and hear more. In the process, she also seems to ask herself (and us) whether there is still room for humans in a world ravaged by war.

Agata Siniarska works in the field of extended choreography. She places her practice between how we think about the world and how we move in it. It is a place where somatics and politics intersect – a place where body perception meets social engagement – between somatic and environmental landscapes, between human and non-human bodies. Agata’s present research explores the idea of an Anthropocene museum, multi-species archives in the time of extinction and various human and non-human alliances.
