The project combines the sound art of Eva Mulej Vrabič (Oka) and the performance art of Tatiana Kocmur. In previous years, the artists have already collaborated on audiovisual performances (Rastišče, 2024; Meso, 2024), where they explored physical and social phenomena together with other artists. Through their joint work, they have recognized numerous similar interests that encourage them to develop an authorial project in which they want to establish a bridge between their two approaches.
They place the bridge at the center as a symbol of intermediation – a space where media, bodies, modes of perception and levels of existence meet, intertwine and transform into a new (non)form of expression. They understand the bridge as a performative space that is unstable, fluid and open to unforeseen uses. Like sound and physicality, spatiality in performative environments is created on the fly; artists and viewers co-create it with each presence. The project methodology is based on the equal relationship between body, sound and space and their mutual mirroring. The energy field created by autors and spectators can develop a specific, transformative effect.
Contemporary social instabilities dictate the need for new ways of association and community action. Protests, rituals, meetings and decisions take place in physical, digital and virtual spaces – situations in which bodies, with their (non)presence, create a performative space of discourse.
The project is based on the hydrofeminist idea of human as a body of water, an inseparable part of the natural world. Water is a common element of all living beings; it connects the inner workings of human, ecology, art and social criticism and offers a new ontological framework for understanding the present. In this context, water becomes a symbol of connection that breaks down hierarchies based on classification and separation, and opens up different, perhaps even utopian, ways of thinking about the future. Liminal space is chaotic, saturated, permeable and unstable – it does not offer unambiguous answers, but rather conditions for transformation and non-binary thinking and being. The human body as a body of water carries within itself tides, currents and flows of information, sound and nutrients. Body, to body, to body. Exchange becomes possible – a bridge is established.
In their creative process, the artists will devote themselves to the processes of metamorphosis and the search for non-binary existence in the context of understanding human as a body of water, primarily in the sense of discarding stunted forms and creating new states of presence based on relationships and coexistence. They understand non-binary as a way of transcending personal and social fixedness, norms and commandments, and as erasing sharp boundaries between polarities. Metamorphosis reorganizes space and opens up the terrain for the emergence of new, unknown cross-bodies.
They perceive the performative space as an envelope that invites the visitor into an experience of co-becoming: into following the transformations between the artists, between them and the space, and between sound and bodily gesture. The emerging multisensory situation does not build a linear narrative, but establishes an open, processual framework in which the boundaries between media, identities, and ways of being dissolve and reshape.
Eva Mulej Vrabič (Oka) is a composer, vocalist and performer from Ljubljana. She creates at the intersection of electroacoustic, ambient and experimental music, focusing on vocal poetics and the suggestive potential of sound. Rooted in the intimate practice of voice exploration and capturing the sounds of nature, Oka creates immersive sound environments using multi-layered vocal textures, acoustic instruments, found objects, analogue synthesis and field recordings. Her compositions blur the boundaries between the inner and outer worlds, creating hyper-realistic soundscapes that are both fragile and expansive.
In September 2025, she released her debut EP Larv on the Kamizdat label and co-authored the soundwalk Telesa vode (Zavod CONA) with Jaka Bombač. She also sounded the co-authored multimedia project Rastišče (2024) and the performance Meso (2024). She has performed at festivals such as Ment, Sonica concert series x SHAPE+, Niansa, Sound Explicit, Ambientsoup, Sajeta, Rdeče zore, Reciklart and Sounded.

Tatiana Kocmur (BA, 1992) is a visual artist and contemporary art producer representing the Cirkulacija 2 association, co-creator of the performance art research platform TRANSLACIJA/TRASLACIÓN and member of the queer collective Bottoms. Her work is based on the emergence of “living images of crossbreeds”, with which she transcends established social norms. The androgynous figure of her flesh challenges conventional notions of the body and identity. With suggestive animal postures, she challenges the gaze that gives birth to new, hybrid beings, while still lifes of the erotic and sensual blur the boundaries between spectacle and ritual.
Her artistic practice is based on collaboration with artists from various fields. The works, created in synergy of diverse artistic approaches, place the body at the forefront as an inspiration and a powerful mediator of socio-political messages. She has presented her works in numerous domestic and international contexts, including exhibition halls and alternative spaces in Skopje, Milan, Bologna, Berlin and Timișoara. Her work was recognized in 2024 and 2021 with a working scholarship from the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia. In 2020, she completed her postgraduate studies in painting with a master’s thesis “Body Installation – Between Performance and Object”.
