What happens if we expand our own senses? This is the question that the makers in the upcoming edition of Evidence in Motion will ask within their works. Expanding human senses with the help of technology, the artists allow the audience to experience reality in new ways. They are reaching altered states of being by controlling the environment and senses of the viewers. Through this, the audience becomes one body with the same experience, creating community through shared sensory moments. During the evening, Sophia and Boris will create two sensory worlds that make us question our own reality. 

“Evidence in Motion” presents performative works and installations that make us question reality, reconsider the current, and highlight how artists, performers, and audiences can move and learn together. The workspace of iii and its underlying philosophy offer the ideal stage to facilitate experiments of this kind. A space in which different understandings of a topic can emerge and engage with one another, where both platforms can enter into a dialog with the participating artists. 

Boris de Klerk 

Boris de Klerk (Amsterdam, 1998) is a performance- and sound-artist based in Amsterdam. Having graduated the Maastricht Institute of Performative Arts in 2022, he works alone as an artist and composer as well as within various collaborations. Together with Olivier Herter he forms the collective THANK YOU, with Camiel Muiser, Jilles van Kleef and Erik van der Paardt he makes music under the name Petersburg and he has worked as a composer for Corpo Máquina (Guilherme Miotto), Simon Bus, Het Geluid Maastricht and Laila Claessen. His work researches the sensory possibilities of a given space and moment in relation to the performer and the audience. A noise is never just a sound, an image is never silent, and silence is never invisible. Approaching the performative and theatrical space as a composer, a lot of his work is an effort to rearrange the senses as a means to de- and reconstruct the sensory experience of the audience in search of new forms of narration and modes of perception.

Among other places and festivals, his work has been shown at Marres Huis voor Hedendaagse Cultuur, Zaal 3 Den Haag, NT Gent, De School, Collectie de Groen, Frascati Theater, Le Guess Who?, Lowlands, Best Kept Secret, Into the Great Wide Open, Eurosonic Noorderslag, The Great Escape and South By South West.

Through various sensorial inputs in her installations and performances, she engages viewers, impacting their ways of perceiving reality and exploring new possibilities beyond it.

Sophia studied sculpture in Kyiv and then a foundation diploma in Photography and Time-Based Media at the University of the Arts London. She graduated from the ArtScience Interfaculty at the Royal Academy of the Art and Royal Conservatory in The Hague, the Netherlands in 2019.
