Taking the field trip to Spain’s Sea of Plastic in 2025 as its starting point, the project She Cries Human Tears imagines a narrative where the hallucinogenic toxins of nightshade plants contaminate the collective unconscious of tomato consumers. Using field recordings, fabulations and moving images, we follow several different strands - from 16th century polychrome sculpture, to spaghetti westerns, migrant fruit pickers, landowners and industrial agriculture, to think about energy, surplus, consumption, the sacred and horror. In their work artists use spoken word, sound and video.
Soundspiels (HR) is a mixed media project by filmmaker and writer Nicole Hewitt, media and sound artist Ivan Slipčević and visual artist Vida Guzmić. Together they create a collective that, since 2019, meets occasionally, walks on locations and uses field research as the basis of their projects. Soundspiels works include Lovespells (Studio Pangolin, 2024), I used to be a table (Galerija Nova, 2022), Sightings-Siteings (Ganz New Peforation Festival and Birca, 2020), Sleepwalkers (Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, 2019), Witchgrass (Showroom of Contemporary Sound, 2017). The collective combines elements of electronic music, spoken word, video and light installation, both live and recorded.
