Alessandra Eramo – Solo for voice and tape

Perhaps a voice does not begin in the mouth. Perhaps it begins in stone, in a wall, in a breath, in the memory of a space.
In her performance *Solo for voice and tape*, Alessandra Eramo combines voice, body and space. The voice detaches itself from language and becomes sound, noise, rhythm and movement. It expands, breaks, transforms and encounters a tape bearing traces of memory and absence.
In the Historischer Keller, the space itself becomes a resonating body. What begins as a voice transforms into something physical, spatial, perhaps even material.
In the encounter with Margarita Wenzel’s installation, a movement emerges between material and voice, between memory and the present, between what is visible and what only reveals itself through listening.
Perhaps this is also where the voice of the space begins.


Alessandra Eramo is a sound artist and vocalist based in Berlin. In her performances, installations, sound poetry, radio art and videos, she explores the hidden acoustic possibilities of the voice and sound. Her works revolve around the body, memory, migration and ecology, and are often created in engagement with specific spaces. Eramo has worked internationally in museums, galleries and at festivals for experimental music, including MaerzMusik Berlin, Deutschlandfunk Kultur Klangkunst and the Venice Biennale.
