Tisa World

artistiek onderzoek - audiovisueel - community - communicatie - performance

Tisa World [Slovenia, 1996] is a multidisciplinarian - primarily a vocalist, a composer and a conductor. With her voice, language and presence, she resides in the now; inventing interaction models that reach beyond the grid. When performing, she sources a song from the beyond, imaginatively plays with structures, narratives, poetry and emotion. In her research, she mystically traverses the practices of composition and improvisation, highlighting their emancipatory potential. She performs, exhibits, curates and publishes around the world: promiscuously, collaboratively, spontaneously and with great joy. In 2024 she became one of the residents of the Hamburger Community at Roodkapje Rotterdam; and inaugurated a new rehearsal and performance space “Sound Room” at De Boog Rotterdam where she hosts a monthly series “Siren Sessions”. She is a member of various ensembles [Tisa&Mojca, Shall we?, Warping, Triangulation, Voronoi Collective] and communities [RE#SISTER, Singing Club Rotterdam, Sound Room De Boog].

Intertwinement

Tentoonstelling / presentatie

  • 01-06-2022 t/m 01-07-2022
  • In samenwerking met: Growing Space Wielewaal
  • Locatie: , Rotterdam
  • This site-specific installation (wool strings intrinsically weaved into a net) is a direct link to a memory of a past. The slow and meticulous process of its creation allows remembering. The live, organic structure that emerges with the action of tying many knots persists to be untamable - in a few weeks hundreds of spiders take the Intertwinement as the base-structure for their nets and inhabit it.

The Topology of New

Tentoonstelling / presentatie

  • 12-08-2022 t/m 30-08-2022
  • In samenwerking met: Journeys International Festival
  • Locatie: public space and online, Leicester
  • The topology of new is a text that traces simple fragments of life, actions and encounters that lead towards the feeling of a home in a city that is foreign to the newcomer. This is not a chance encounter was an outdoor and online exhibition that examined what it means to work with stories of (im)migration, looked at encounters that don't happen by chance, and followed the traces of immigration policies that result in displacement globally .

Erkenningen

    Publicatie
  • DE_LAYER #3

  • 2020
  • limited edition publication and CD
  • De Player Rotterdam - What is an own possible world? was published as a part of the magazine for remote events DE_LAYER, double-sided riso-printed on A3 in bue and black. I sonified and vocalized the poem that was published on the CD featured in the same edition of the magazine. It speaks of the possible worlds that exist within our own lives; and encourages imagination to take a life on its own.
