Mirror of Wounds[2023-2024] founded by the Ammann-Falb scholarship, expands the sonic and perceptual boundaries of classical instrumentation to create a hybrid, continuously evolving sound environment. Text, light, theatrical elements, and video are integrated as equal components, forming a layered performative space that initiates a collective inquiry into the expectations placed on women’s bodies and identities within society and the music field. The piece addresses how these norms shape artistic practice, visibility, and perception -particularly within historically male-dominated musical contexts. Developed through a collaborative and non-hierarchical process, the work prioritizes shared authorship. Rather than following a fixed score, the performance evolves through collective decision-making, allowing individual voices to coexist within a structure that resists hierarchy and enables new forms of collective, non-hierarchical presence.
