ODD MATTER is a Dutch-Bulgarian design studio driven by curiosity for all the strange and wonderful. Researching, probing, creating and exploring our world’s past, present and future through it’s materials, processes and concept. Els Woldhek & Georgi Manissiev believe that by working with existing processes and notions, researching these from a different more naive perspective a different kind of products can be created. Unique and specific to the place they originate from.

During her residency Oona Libens will work on a new performance about the human body. She has done research on how the body has been described throughout history in both the medical as the political domain, at the same time reflecting on how it is perceived in our society today. The result will be a captivating phantasmagoria where a semi-scientific narrative is illustrated live on stage using analogue light and shadow effects.
