Lyssah Oterdoom

Lyssah's work stems from a sensory curiosity about how the world appears to us. She investigates not only what we perceive, but also the tools and techniques we use to grasp and make sense of that perception. Her inspiration lies in material processes: in natural phenomena, rhythms, and the unfolding of media.

By making their noise, structure, and repetition tangible, new ways of seeing begin to emerge. She uses media, recording devices, and everyday objects detached from their intended functions. By removing them from their original context and repurposing them, she invites a shift in perception, revealing connections that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Her installations engage with time, sound, and light. They act as subtle interventions in our sensory experience, not meant to explain but to slow down, to disorient, and to be felt. In a world that strives for clarity and efficiency, she creates space for the poetic, the slow, and the seemingly useless.

Singer Harmony

Lyssah Oterdoom

Singer Harmony is onderdeel van een lopend onderzoek naar de akoestische eigenschappen van elektrische naaimachines. Zowel de resonantie van de behuizingen als de machinale bewegingen van de naald worden versterkt en creëren een compositie die over de tijd heen transformeert. De motoren van de naaimachines zijn afzonderlijk aangestuurd en creëren een poëtisch samenspel in verschillende ritmes. Langzaam groeien de ritmes uit tot klanken die zich aaneenrijgen tot een levend, ademend geluidslandschap.
