Following the sun. feyfeyfey

This emerging collective, united in a network of queerness, has woven together a sound performance piece, brb do not perceive me unless ur ready 2 speak in r1ddles and chill with beautiful r0cks xxx, that explores communication phenomena, and specifically the transmission and reception of queer frequencies. Understanding queer communication systems as subversive tools that enable members of our community to be eco-localised and protect each other, the collective uses sound and visual elements to express rhythmic, cryptic and natural cyclic pulsations between the three members. These reverberations bounce off porous bodies, in transmissions devoured by open ears, as vibrational absorptions and other forms of abstract, poetic and non-verbal communication come together to create a dissonant aria in dialogue with the natural world, situating queer existences through communication.

feyfeyfey is an emerging Barcelona-based art collective whose members are Alida Maria Lanzi, Anusha Jean Ramesh and Bram Dul. It uses performance and sound to explore aspects of queerness, and is interested in the elasticity of access, as well as the politics of movement and the act of sounding out together as friends, from varied stances. Feyfeyfey creates spaces that question how we relate with ourselves, others and the worlds we inhabit. In the past, the term fey in English meant ‘destined to die, condemned’, and was used as a vulgar term for homosexuals. It is likewise a term used to refer to fairies. Here it is repeated three times, asserting itself as a sound ritual.

The practice of Alida Maria Lanzi (Germany, 2004) is focused on the construction of worlds: imaging alternative spaces where queer bodies might exist beyond binary constructs and norms. Using sculpture, installation and performance, they combine organic and inorganic rhythms to create hybrid shapes. Their site-specific works perturb and unsettle, merging liminal space with speculative narratives to imagine new atmospheres and ways of being, opening up new connections and identities. They are currently finishing their thesis at Metàfora Studio Arts.

The work of Anusha Jean Ramesh (Malaysia, 2001) strives to grasp the elemental conditions of connectivity. Their practice tends to be relational, seeking to follow traces of queer displacement, identity and temporalities while basing itself on personal relationships, intuitively channelled through sound, sculpture, installation and video. They are currently completing their thesis at Metàfora Studio Arts, and are preparing a solo exhibition at 200CENT for November 2025.

Bram Dul (Netherlands, 2005) is writing their love letter to sound, where every project creates a new phrase. They translate thoughts on queerness and neuro-divergency into sound, sculpture, installation and performance, shaping their projects through the perspective of childlike admiration and research-based practice. Dul is currently completing a year-long residency at Metàfora Studio Arts, and in September will begin studies at Design Academy Eindhoven.
