Manja Ristić / Three sisters
Three Sisters presents a sonic performance that brings together three of the artist’s recent releases, created as part of an ongoing investigation into the relationship between sound, landscape, and affective memory. Through these three works, the artist develops a poetics of attention that positions listening as a form of mnemosonic cartography and the world as a living score.
The performative concept is grounded in reflections on post-industrial landscape trauma, speculative listening, and dystopian visions of ecological catastrophe. Sound material is employed as a means of probing the boundaries between the personal and the collective, the real and the imagined.
The performance includes three compositions: Purpurna vresišta, a cassette release published by the French label wabi-sabi tapes; Sargassum Aeterna, a vinyl release for the Greek label Rekem Records; and Into Your Eyes, a digital release premiering at this concert, scheduled for release on November 7th by the label LINE.
These three works are united by a shared impulse to shape a sonic topography that transcends the documentary and enters the realm of the sensorial, the reflective, and the political. Three Sisters is not merely a retrospective, but an invitation to collective listening — as an act of attention, presence, and imagining possible sonic landscapes of the future.
