‘ORGANS’ is a video installation that delves into the concept of spatial perception, rhizomatic floating and spatial catharsis through the ambiguous narrative of a deceased spirit-body absorbed into space. Combining Icelandic landscapes with Parisian brutalist architectures, the video presents a 'body of land' composed of concrete slabs transformed into bones and matter vibrating like pulsating organs, where it becomes impossible to separate the self from the landscapes, emphasizing the interconnection between them.
Inner bodily noises resonate with samples of field recordings, echos of haunted voice and bursts of subjectivity, creating a homonymic synthesis and deterritorializing soundscape
ORGANS has been commissioned and supported by SIGN + Stichting, Gröningen

about
Charlène Dannancier is a French artist and composer who primarily works with sound, performance, installation, writing and film.
Her voice stands as the core element of her work, used as an instrument and aural narrative tissue, as well as a statement, engaging with autotheory practices.
Through her compositions and live performances, often embodied as her sensorial persona UNN, Dannancier crafts immersive and gripping encounters, guiding the audience along an intense trajectory that oscillates between the dimensions of intimate revelation and disquieting unease. Within this interplay, subjectivity, gender and power dynamics are interrogated, raising profound questions about the notions of consent, eroticism, control and vulnerability.
Her work has been presented and supported by Unofficial Preview Gallery (Seoul), De School (Amsterdam), Sandberg Instituut (Amsterdam), Het HEM (Zaandam), Sign+ (Groningen), OHM (Berlin), Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam), Transient Festival (Paris), Gwangju Media Art Festival (Gwangju), DOMMUNE (Tokyo), Frequent Defect (Lebanon), and more
