Pauline Boudry & Renate Lorenz. All the Things She Said
Taking its title from a new work featuring the activist and DJ Chelsea Manning, All the Things She Said explores how music can become a queer language for mourning and hope. In dialogue with what the artists call additional performers—meaning the blinds, a sliding door, microphones, speakers, or smoke which also are the protagonists of their artworks—the exhibition investigates how sound and visual pleasure serve as allies when speaking fails.
The Berlin-based duo address specific aspects of sound: by means of bodies moving in concert outside the constraints of linear time; through music as a celebration of life in the face of violence; and via the voice in a song inhabiting the ghosts of a colonial building in Spain. Beyond their performance-based film installations, the duo’s sculptures address the tension between speaking up as a form of liberation and remaining silent as a practice of resistance. Their artwork explores the potential of a queer practice through sound and silence, used as a means to invite togetherness beyond an identitarian impetus.
