The multi-part video and exhibition project «Liquid Connections» by Lena Maria Thüring deals with the connections and relationships between the human body and the element water. videokunst.ch is pleased to present the fourth and final iteration of «Liquid Connections».

A dense, poetic text collage, a science fiction siren song about salt, sex, deep time, life cycles and cross-species thinking forms the center of the video. Scientific resources, fictional literature, and pop cultural references flow seamlessly together as a sprechgesang. «Liquid Connections» creates an underwater world activated by performers Zainab Lascandri and Lucia Gugerli through amorphous costumes, spoken word and dance. In their recital, the rise of sea levels due to global warming becomes a speculative vision of a return to the water and negotiates the possibility of human transformation towards a «multi species» that can better face the challenges of the future.
