The very thing for ladies
In collaboration with Laura Haensler
2021
BOURSES DELIÉES FCAC Design 2019
This project emerges after the MA thesis Good Vibrations. From Repression to Stimulation in 2019. The thesis is a chronological and critical review of the design, use, and discourse of vibratory objects in the western world, from the late 19th century until the second half of the 20th century.
The Very thing for Ladies attempts to translate the theory from the thesis into a physical format, using music, voice, performance, and ultimately vibrations as a medium to reach the audience. They both unveil the history of electronic vibrations from the perspective of the oppressed, sick, and manipulated bodies.
Helena Bosch Vidal and Laura Haensler perform different songs using only vibrators as instruments, mixing both pre-recorded and modified sounds and life vibrations. They play electronic music to recall the club culture, where queer bodies find a space of liberation and freedom.
