Tout Doux: Gong Bath
'Tout Doux: Gong Bath' is an instrument in the shape of a woman’s body. In this interpretation of the female nude, the sensuality of the forms is not emphasized. The figures are delineated in the space by colorful steel lines, while feminine sexual identity, usually affiliated with breasts, appears as two bronze gongs. Weight and fleshliness are removed and replaced by a potency for being well, conveyed by the vibrational power of sound waves.
The sound waves produced by a gong enter and travel through the body of the listener and touch every cell like the wind fluttering the leaves of a tree. For those kinds of waves, anyone and anything can turn into a pool or an ocean to quench the inflammation. The listener’s heart rate slows, blood pressure drops, and breath is restored to its natural rhythm. The gong induces an inner resonance.
The installation invites the audience to be plunged into a witch spa well.
