Sourcemouth: Liquidbody is an audiovisual installation that features a visual-score and a suite of films incorporating choreography, vocal composition, and costume. Learning the nadi varnana (‘river description’) from practitioner Kapila Venu, Hanna Tuulikki has adapted the traditional sequence into a performance-for-camera with three interlinked films. In the first, her silver-painted figure traces a fluvial line that covers a river’s journey. The second is a startling close up of Tuulikki’s open eyes performing choreographed gestures that signify the same transition from river source to mouth. In the third, Tuulikki’s disembodied mouth begins to incant instructions for the performance. Sourcemouth: Liquidbody enacts a type of ‘water consciousness’ that is local and universal.
