Mansblow
 
Performance/ Video,  03’43”, Guangzhou, China, 2021


A man blows hard on a suona, trying to inflate the balloon attached to the instrument. The trumpet describes a kind of chatter and a constant harsh sound. The sound is particularly odd when the player is unfamiliar with the instrument. In an extremely patriarchal place, we tried to capture the very obvious yet indescribable feeling of being a woman.
