I am because you are

2018

​

Portugal

​

A collaboration with Baroque singer Chloe Lam (Hong Kong) exploring empathy & environment through sound and movement. The premiere took place at the opening of the OLOS exhibition in Góis (Portugal). Wearing an elongated paper skirt made out of sonic sketches of Chloe's voice, the fragility of the current global environmental crisis is augmented through both the vulnerability of the performing artist (Sonya Rademeyer) and the haunting voice of the lamenting singer (Chloe Lam) singing 'Ubuntu'. ​

​

The video piece "I am because you are" was nominated for an Ovation award at the National Arts Festival (2020).
