Selin Davasse

Selin Davasse can sing like an opera singer, but she uses her outstanding voice mainly for performance art. Using different literary and performance techniques, she conceives and collaboratively realises the ethics of an alternative past, present and speculative future. The queer artist, who was born in Ankara and now lives in Berlin, condenses thought structures into intimate female forms of expression in her works – sometimes sung, sometimes spoken – in which she establishes participatory, often playful relationships with the audience like a hostess, as she has already shown at the likes of Wiener Festwochen, Radicants in Paris and Berlin’s Volksbühne. We are all the more pleased to now experience her impressive art at Pop-Kultur.
