Diane Mahín is een Nederlands-Iraanse performance-maker en socioloog. Ze maakt performatieve werelden waarin beeld en geluid de stuwende krachten zijn. Het werken met geluid weerspiegelt haar verlangen om geconfronteerd te worden met zeer subjectieve, confronterende en meeslepende vormen van werkelijkheid. Diane onderzoekt het menselijk lichaam als materieel object om sociale constructies te ontleden, om zo hun absurditeit en humor te begrijpen. De dood en het niets vormen de onderliggende drijfveren van haar werk. Na haar studie aan Goldsmiths, University of London en Toneelacademie Maastricht, onderzoekt Diane momenteel opera aan het Sandberg Instituut.
GUT questions how humans behave when their bodies are turned inside out. You will meet a human whose gut-sounds are amplified. The gut-human’s thoughts, actions, communications, movements, and feelings, are all determined by his gut sounds. This performative world brings out the boundary between life and death, conscious reasoning and the subconscious gut, resulting in a visceral and absurd experience. Visitors are invited to walk in and out of this durational performance.
Diane Mahín is a Dutch-Iranian performance maker and sociologist. She makes performative worlds in which image and sound are the driving forces. Working with sound reflects her desire to be faced with highly subjective, confrontational and immersive forms of reality. Diane scrutinizes the human body as a material object in order to dissect social constructions, as she wishes to grasp their absurdity and humor. Death and nothingness form the underlying motives of her work. After her studies at Goldsmiths, University of London and Maastricht Institute of Performative Arts, Diane is currently exploring operatic principles within her practice at Sandberg Institute.
