Deva Schubert

Silent Spills II is an intimate exploration of the porosity of the female body as source of uncontrollable leaking. Not only liquids but also sounds persistently escape the body and reveal stories. To this day, women’s mouths and orifices are censored and sanctioned. What happens when their voices, their fluids, and their memories infiltrate the disciplined public space and demand to be heard? Who is allowed to speak – and who is silenced? 
Deva Schubert’s fluid choreography merges bodies and sounds, generating resonances that envelop visitors in a seemingly uncontrolled and affective ambience. In this permeable and floating constellation of movement and sound, spaces of micro-intimacy emerge whose structure perpetually reshapes itself. Silent Spills are whispering protests and emphatic objections that subtly undermine barriers and hierarchies.
