about

Melanin Into Infinite Darkness

Melanin Into Infinite Darkness is a sonic performance about the internalised and throbbing pain during a Scandinavian winter.
Melanin Into Infinite Darkness is about the physical disarray of a black body morphing into an absent shadow.

With this sonic performance, Sylvain Souklaye explores how the epicurean mind becomes a minimal reason. He further portrays the antagonism between empathic souls and people that are darker than melanin and colder than winter.

Melanin Into Infinite Darkness is a three-part piece about a placebo of life, a soulless and functional artifice as a cultural artefact.
