People see me as a “tom boy”, no wonder, I grew up in a “man’s world”. I have three brothers and five male cousins. I was supposed to be the princess of the family, but I got treated the opposite, already my hair was always short and I wanted to get dressed like my brothers and play with them soccer, or help my dad to cut a tree and make big Saturday fires. My mum tried to educate me as the perfect housewife and join even one of these schools, like she did. I hated this idea from the first beginning. Sport Sounds gets back to my childhood issue with soccer and the “classical” man sports. The power of these games and the atmosphere in stadiums are attractive to me. I‘m interested in this very special atmosphere, of “burning pot” and I want to keep it in one picture in combination with sound, somehow minimalized to the basics of human senses. For the first time I work together with the Israeli musician and sound artist Ido Govrin.[Soundclip]
