At VITRINE, London, the vocal element could be heard as intended through contact-speakers attached to the glass window panes, alongside the markings and props from the performances, using voice and sound to extend the performance’s corporeality.
Bachmann explored VITRINE’s unique space and its confined form which limits the movement of bodies, as a metaphor for the social constraints we may experience in our lives. These constraints manifest themselves socially, physically and economically in our bodies and our minds, creating multifaceted limitations on our lives. Bachmann is interested in how these constraints become rules and normalities, entering our lives and becoming negative parameters through which we exist.
