MORE BIT MY TEETH

Samina de Wulf  -   MORE BIT MY TEETH

EN

Sophocles once cited: “Silence is the kosmos of woman” — inspired by an antiquity of a uterus with a lock on its mouth.

MORE BIT MY TEETH is a weapon sounding like my insides: my gut, my womb and my throat. It sounds like a high-pitched shrieking. Sucking up all the air like a star imploding into a black hole under outside pressure.

Leaving the noise.

This research started from the notion of sonic weapons used in war, and shifted to sound as a weapon to speak up against. As a protest. My woman's voice can scream so loud. Yet nobody listens. So I explored the explosive potential of sound. But instead I imploded more and more. 

For MORE BIT MY TEETH, Eko (Samina De Wulf) explored sound as protest, resistance and inner eruption. She weaved together topics on the female voice, sound weapons, hysteria, black holes, sexual assault and implosions.
