소리꽃을 위한 서정시
— Ode to Sorikkot2025
live performance
“소리꽃을 위한 서정시 (Ode to Sorikkot)” is a poetic ritual, chant, and collective listening performance that imagines a time when plants and humans were attuned to one another. Extending from the previous project S.Abligua X Odekon, created in collaboration with Anna Fainareti Lioka as a collective Odd Sonorous, the work weaves together the recitation of poems written in the form of myths and folktales, voice, electronic sound, field recordings, and real-time environmental data collected from the performance site to construct a sonic fiction. Here, language not only delivers the meaning but also serves as poetic and sonic material. The phenomenon of “echo” is proposed as both a key concept for rethinking the relationship between plants and humans and a metaphor for symbiotic relations. Through this lens, the performance summons the cyclical memory of life—its continual birth and death—and expands the relationship between plants and humans toward ecological and planetary dimensions.
The project was performed as part of Plant Stories at ZK/U Berlin.
