Resonance and Repetition (2021)  as in.finit
Public Intervention and Composition | Acoustic / Stereo Sound
About
'Resonance and Repeition' is a series of public interventions that through performativity and ritualization explores the
transformative qualities of resonance and repetition. Presented as a ceremonial happening, a choreography of
physical actions investigates morphogenetic relations between agency of the animate and non-animate, the physical and
immaterial substrate, guiding the transcendental nature of matter and psyche. By working with a site that
inhabit specific material and energetic qualities, submerged within the flux of the momentum transiting the cosmic, a stage is created. An exploration of spirit, potentially activated within a complex
of atomospherical intimacies. The idea is that the series contribute to a scale of micro-events happening in and
around Berlin, gatherings with a minor group of people in fragmented times, leaving behind a trace of poiesis,
uncovered trough the activation of emerging situations, as technocratic relics of the past, summoned into a virtual archive, a
psychic library of a journey, as well as this website itself, an energetic container, an entropy of archaic
knowledge.

The ceremony is divided into a few parts. Firstly, an 'Initiation' takes the role of a cleansing ritual that
creates a safe environment in which the ceremony takes place. Secondly, the act of 'Resonance'. In search of
positive feedback between site and explorer, a dialogue with the structure emerges in which the application
of forces aims to hit the natural frequency on which the site acts. This is a phase in which harmony, the
share of energies between the animate and non-animate become examined to potentially open a gateway, a portal
that gives access to the exploration of the unknown qualities of the site. Thirdly, 'Repetition', as the foundation of
the substrate, a feedback mechanism between recomposition and decomposition, coming into existence
by its destructive and creative nature, wandering in-between life and death. Using a pocket knife, a symbol for sacrifice and
liberation, resurrecting newborn energetic entropies choreographed into fundamental shapes and structures of
Nature; 'Spirals', 'Waves' and 'Infinite' repeating patterns. The quality of repetition, fluctuating, beating,
accelerating, delaying, is questioning temporal stability, blocking the effusion of time, to make ready for new beginnings in Nature's paradox, a fall outside the temporal continuum.
