Carried by Invisible Bodies is a performance about echoing bodies, materials and spaces. It is also a performance about a multiplicity of temporalities. The work process focuses on questions about the invisible connections between human and non-human materials, and what kind of world can we imagine by intersecting historically advanced materials and ways of making art? The starting points for the performance are a sculpture made by sculptor Niina Tervo, a poem by artist-writer Maarit Mustonen, a song played by harpist Natalia Castrillón and movement by dancer-performer Anne Naukkarinen.

During the residency, Anne will rehearse and focus on creating a choreography for Carried by Invisible Bodies. Time in the residency is shared with art-based researcher Tiago Martins Pinto. The work is supported by Ehkä Production (Turku), The Arts Promotion Centre Finland and the City of Helsinki. In cooperation with the art association i dolci.
