NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE OCCURRED

Radio Hush Hush / 2023 / Middelheim Museum

Radio Hush Hush transmits a muted chorus of female voices whispering one to another. The work performs fragmented knowledge of plant-based anti-fertility remedies that have been disappearing through the ages due to broken chains of vocal transmission. Radio Hush Hush emerges investigates what still circulates in the form of folksongs, poems and hearsay, and recuperates recipés that lie inactive in the pages of old herbals.

The work Radio Hush Hush is in the collection of Middelheim Museum as part of the collection of the Federal Government of Belgium.
