RADIO HUSH HUSH / HET HUIS PAVILION / MIDDELHEIM MUSEUM / ANTWERP / 2023

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 has been disappearing through the ages due to broken chains of vocal transmission. The work emerges from a project that investigates what is still circulating in the form of folksongs, poems and hearsay, and recuperates knowledge that lies inactive in the pages of old herbals.
