Gut Feelings — Melodies and Aromas

With the vinyl recording of a musical, Louise Siffert offers a new chapter in her project on fermentation as a living, palpable theory that blends body, feminism, and community.

Gut Feelings – Melodies and Aromas is a musical sung and performed by giant bacteria. In reference to the separatist lesbian communities and more specifically to their capacity to create other forms and ways of life, outside of the unbearable norms. The motif of fermentation here becomes a metaphor for the activity of a micro-organic and non-genetic community, both human and non-human, alive, moving and changing form. In the manner of fermentation, this community in constant activity evolves autonomously, feeding itself and the space around it.

This vinyl edited by *Duuu was produced within the framework of “La vie bonne”, a project carried out by Aware and the Cnap – Centre national des arts plastiques, with the complicity of the BBB art center, Toulouse.
