Nadia Struiwigh X Rahul Sharma I Live AV

A live audiovisual performance unfolding as a phenomenology of sweetness: fairy-fluffy atmospheres and candy-land artifices rendered as a tactile field of image and sound. The opening phase establishes grounding through slow, viscous motion—cotton-candy density, edible gloss, and ASMR-like proximity—where swirling color behaves less like representation than like matter: liquid, pliant, and sensorially intimate.

As intensity accumulates, synthesis ceases to function merely as music and begins to operate as architecture: synth becomes portals. Rippling membranes, marbled flows, and refractive gradients articulate thresholds and passages, as if the image were continuously liquefying into entry points. Steps as liquid appear and dissolve—rhythmic footholds that cannot be held—producing a spatial logic of instability, drift, and reconfiguration.

The trajectory culminates in a hectic bang: acceleration, saturation, and fragmentation that rupture the initial softness without abandoning it. Live visual authorship and real-time modulation choreograph this oscillation between comfort and rupture—an edible utopia folding into volatility—where sweetness becomes a medium for transformation, and the audience is carried from calm immersion into ecstatic, portal-like collapse.
