SODA WORKS 2018
The SODA (Solo/Dance/Authorship) class of 2018 have compiled this publication to contain selected content from their individual thesis projects. These projects each consisted of a live performance - presented in December 2017, at the Uferstudios in Berlin - an artist work book, as a document of the creative process and a written essay, each explicating areas of independent research. It is the aim of this publication to present a selection of this material for public dissemination. The publication can be read in two directions: vertically as well as horizontally. You can choose from which perspective you would like to start. You can read the book from the beginning till the end and after that start again, this time reading from a different angle, or you can simply make fast changes, jumping from horizontal to vertical, from vertical to horizontal. It is just a matter of adjusting the object to your choices. The amount of changes is limitless.

“Shadows, secrets, assistants, casts, curtain-guards, rolling<br />
movements, heard voices, stereotypes, images... I am<br />
working with a family of things and concepts that have a<br />
slippery quality. Similar to haunting: never graspable, always<br />
present. Their presence manifests through transformation<br />
and projection...<br />

... The chewing gum interests me in the sense that it is an<br />
object that manifests an idea of independence (the laidback,<br />
cool or blasé attitude it confers) and at the same time<br />
has an addictive ‘more-ish’ quality. Because the chewing<br />
gum fulfills its task only temporarily (it cannot be swallowed<br />
and it loses its taste after few minutes) it is a surplus.<br />
One needs to spit it out and/or use another one. ‘More is<br />
more’. I also find chewing-gums interesting because it is<br />
something that goes inside the body yet remains in a transitional<br />
space, on the threshold of the digestive system.<br />
It is not organic, yet it has an intimate relationship with<br />
the organic: it is chewed, transformed by the body, taking<br />
the shape of the inside of the mouth. When spat out, the<br />
chewed gums are like small casts, each of them uniquely<br />
imprinted by teeth and saliva.”<br />
