burgund t brandt (DE) https://burgundtbrandt.com

is a sound thinker, researcher, composer and artist based in Leipzig. She creates installations, performances and compositions in the field of tension within visual and auditory perception. For this purpose, she explores and transforms the relationship of the in-between under aspects of performative listening in theory and practice. Her working method can be described as a playful dissection of the everyday, in particular the inherent instabilities of human(ity), natural(ity), communication and medium. In reception, this often leads to experiences of coming into contact, whereby one's own body is given the opportunity to become a place where listening becomes perceptible as an individual resonance space.
