In collaboration with Residenties in Utrecht and Culturele Zondagen iii presents Phantom Limb at Beating Heart 2025 in Utrecht.
Phantom Limb is a project exploring the enigmatic and poetic relationship between a human being and the black box that is their interior through the use of a medical ultrasound machine. Amos Peled has been developing methods to perform audio-visual manipulations which transform the ultrasound machine into an instrument that illuminates the inside of the body and expands the space of the artistic act into the organs, under the skin. The work investigates conceptions such as the distance of the human body from the self, the hierarchical relationship between the inside and the outside, pain as a poetic message and the lack of internal symmetry.
Amos Peled is a multidisciplinary artist, focusing on experimental music and technologies, audio-visual installations, video art, and performance art.
His latest works are focused on themes such as medical technology, experimental sound technology, and the human body as an artistic medium. Peled works with these themes to challenge conventions and provoke reflections on the ordinary. His interest in the theme of medical technology comes from the experience of growing up in a hospital environment, where he observed first-hand the working processes of the medical system.
