Performed Matter #10 (2023) by Florinda Camilleri in collaboration with Kamila Wolszczak was exhibited as part of Affect Aliens curated by Elyse Tonna and part of the SPRING Artistic Programme by the Gabriel Caruana Foundation.

Kamila and I become tactile aliens, fascinated by dirt, dust, and debris. With clay as our geo-matter, we take and make impressions, give and receive pressure. We are all about -press- and mess. The clay resists, and makes us slow down, listen, move slowly and with care, our hands becoming feminist hands. Touching the space becomes massaging the space, and receiving massage from the space. Through the clay, we gather traces, picking up and leaving behind bodily matters. The clay conceals and reveals matters, inviting us to imagine what lies beneath and beyond, to develop counter-narratives. Like bread dough, clay is a co-creator and interlocutor, a facilitator of kinships, a modulator of imaginaries and movements. It becomes a material archive of bodily conversations.

Florinda Camilleri, 2023

The exhibition Affect Aliens explored the points of encounter between human and more-than-human bodies as sites of creative potential. Here, relational curiosity is materialised through transdisciplinary co-creative processes within collaborative work involving digital media, polaroid photography, clay sculptures, and live performance. For this expansive research-based project, Florinda has invited some special collaborators on board: Sarah Bonaci to research and create with polaroid photography, Romeo Roxman Gatt to research and create with digital imagery, and Kamila Wolszczak Speculative Artifacts to research and create with clay.
