Laia Estruch
(Spain | 1981)
Laia Estruch understands the voice as an extension of the body, capable of synthesizing issues related to language, speech, gender, or social structures. She investigates how urban spaces and their physical structures play an important role in everyday life. She analyzes the emotional possibilities of the voice and the body, delving into the intangible behavior of the voice, its gestures, and movement concerning the individual’s physical, material, and political body. She conceives the voice as another body in motion. She designs stage spaces that bring the body and the word to the field of action, opening spaces for reflection in relation to the performative nature of language, the sound record, and the oral archive.
