The sound installation by Laura Cemin “I was a fish. I was a fish, in a pond.” is the result of a performative act. Thinking in motion, the performer uses the simple motor skill of jumping as a tool to questions expectations that becomes apparent through the particular action - reach higher, get stronger, push further.

Interactive sound installation, 9.50 min
