Juliana Hodkinson: Ready for Ecstasy

A Magic Room with texts by Ursula Andkjær Olsen

(2022/2023)

Ready for Ecstasy is based on Danish author Ursula Andkjær Olsen’s extended poem My Jewel Box. A flood of vocal articulations celebrates the possibilities, and mourns the limitations, of our umbilical relation to both natural life-giving forces and late capitalism, mediated through the female experience of body and relations. The female organ is placed centrally as a variously fertile or empty container, an infrastructure in the larger system between mother and child. Truike van der Poel’s performance, accompanied by the voices

of Neue Vocalsolisten, gives voice to the female position at the centre of channels of production and reproduction, redundancy and social capital, in constant contact with life’s extremes. The audience becomes implicated in unfolding a stream of associations, in which politics and affect are under negotiation within personal, social and creative action zones.

Following the photo/sound installation On/Off (2019), Ready for Ecstasy is the second collaboration between Juliana Hodkinson, Ursula Andkjær Olsen and Sophia Kalkau.
