On June 12th 2024 from 9pm, during Art Basel, TRAUMA unveils a seminal performance piece, showcasing an ongoing, interdisciplinary creative exchange between Swedish artist Anna Uddenberg and American musician Eartheater at Kaserne Basel.
This collaborative showcase departed from an interweaving of the provocative visual themes of Uddenberg’s sculpture "Climber (pierced rosebud)" — a poignant commentary on hyper-sexualization in consumer culture and the increasingly blurred lines between authenticity and fabrication — with the avant-garde musical expressions of Eartheater.
A manifestation of Uddenberg’s canonical artistic practice, stage elements combine features of various sculptural works, with Eartheater, for the very first time, assuming the role of an animated iteration — becoming the embodiment of the work’s central discourse.
Eartheater embodies the character "Climber" amidst Uddenberg's captivating sculpture, "Climber (Pierced Rosebud)." Draped in a custom-crafted garment by fashion stylist Billy Lobos, Eartheater's performance seamlessly integrates with the visual story, erasing distinctions between sound and form. This blending of auditory and visual elements offers an immersive voyage through creative expression, showcasing the dynamic interplay between contemporary art and music.
