Hanne Lippard

Hanne Lippard (*1984, Milton Keynes/UK, lives and works in Berlin) works with the medium of writing, through performances and readings as well as sound recordings and installations. Within the variation of these formats, the voice is her main medium. By mixing personal thoughts with appropriated texts such as advertisements, slogans and news articles, the texts become a mix of private and public that regain ingenuity and authorship through the use of the voice, becoming a body of its own. Her recent artistic research has been concentrated around the use of the female body as a vessel for sound, the conscious as well as unconscious automatization of speech and language.
