From jewelry to electronics, from the sun to the divine, from rivers to blood. The elusive gold contained in electronic instruments to conduct energy, is extracted first from the earth. This performance installation swings on the idea of what happens when a grain of gold is extracted, to be installed in microchips and circuits of electronic devices.
Swinging Grams
Sonic Performance/ Installation
With a small electronic instrument floating in the middle, Nene del Solar creates a soundscape woven from rhythms and sounds captured from a land plundered by gold mining. The performance is an exploration of the human body in motion, seeking to extract this radiant artifact from the very heart of the performance space.
