Chiara Pitrola alias cosmicswarm is a hydrofeminist practitioner who works with rituals, sound and wet ontologies. She’s concerned with ecotransfeminism, embodied practices, deep listening, herbalism and DIY community care.

Trancecorporeal
Trancecorporeal - Trancecorporeal is an ongoing series of hydration liturgies and ephemeral participatory installations. The liturgies involve spatialized scent, a natural blue tea and sensorial experiences with melting ice sculptures playing with the pH of liquids. The hydration is cradled by an audio piece, specifically a spell evoking acqueous transcorporeal transits. The subtle storytelling recalls the transgenerational quality of visible and invisible transits as vectors of ancient cycles bigger than us. Temporary communities hosted in the space are invited to listen to the spell, drink their tea slowly “as if it is the axis on which the earth revolves” and touch, caress, lick the ice contributing to a collective melting through body heat. These immersive milieus serve as portals, inviting participants to engage in an experiential journey—one that bridges the gap between corporeal and transcorporeal realms through trance-like states. Trancecorporeal makes space for pleasure activism, slowness and evokes ancient healing herbalism that foretold science. It questions what is sacred today and stands for intimacy and ritualistic practices as personal and political tools.

Ectowomb

Datum:
Locatie: Der Hintergarten
In samenwerking met: Der Hintergarten, Hyphae Collective

The interactive installation Ectowomb speculates on posthuman gestationality, a facilitative mode of being not necessarily tied to feminised bodies, holding space for ecoqueer hydrocoreographies. A vessel displays an abundant sticky metamorphosis with shifting temperatures, partly slowly melting. Those who pass by are invited to re-centre, smell, slowly seek intimacy with this postamniotic reservoir and ultimately massage the wet assemblage.

The Women Gather

Locatie: Het Nieuwe Instituut
In samenwerking met: Het Nieuwe Instituut, Eat your Feelings

Trancecorporeal consists of a hydration liturgy and deep listening experience. The liturgy is intended to — acknowledge, channel, visualize — the fluid transits that allow our bodies to regenerate. Sensory fragrances, tea and melting ice sculptures make space for pleasure and rest as an act of resistance to reprosexuality. A spell cradles the experience evoking aqueous transits and ancient cycles bigger than us.
