Anaïs Lossouarn presents What holds of the living (Performance)
she/her
Sun May 31 | de Brakke Grond
Anaïs Lossouarn’s performance unfolds through friction, resonance, and attentive listening. Using two self-built stone harps, she draws deep, sustained drones from finely cut mineral surfaces by slowly moving wet hands across their edges. The sound emerges not through impact, but through continuous contact: a delicate balance of pressure, moisture, and movement, similar to the gesture used on the rim of a glass. Amplified in stereo, each stone reveals its own frequencies and textures, turning the performance into a quiet dialogue between skin and mineral. Through slow, repetitive gestures, vibrations stretch and linger in space, inviting audiences into a suspended, deeply focused mode of listening.

About the artist
Anaïs Lossouarn creates spaces that invite slow attention and a gentle encounter with the unfamiliar. Her practice explores resonance and the relationships between matter and the living: how vibrations travel through bodies and materials, and how listening can become a shared, relational experience. By amplifying and recontextualising what already exists, she unsettles the sense of “already knowing” and opens space for renewed curiosity and perception.
