Just like the mysteries of air
Commissioned by Giulietta Basel for Lumpen station, "Just like the mysteries of air" is an audio journey in fragments on the in-between metaphysics of air, the invisible fullness: beginning with a phone call, a travel along the coast of the Puglian Adriatic, Luce Irigaray’s Forgetting of Air, dusts in the studio, the disappearing Countess, all from our lungs to your ears.

This episode is a part of 𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦 𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘭 𝘣𝘶𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘰 is the acoustic side of the artist-run space Giulietta, curated by Ambra Viviani on the invitation of Andrea Marioni and with the support of Lumpen Station.
The title is inspired by the heartwarming image of otters holding hands to stay together while they sleep so as not to be separated by the stream, while its subheading translates as “good night and good morning stories”.
OHH wants to give the artist the possibility to explore their joys, hopes, worries, and concerns, and the listener to be soothed — or warned.
It will feature different series, each focusing on a specific dyad, exploring the relationship between the two and the interstitial space for a "Secret Third Thing” — the first one titled 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿.
