Infinite Pollination
Infinite Pollination is a performance exploring transformation, life cycles and ecological interconnection. Created and directed by visual artist Cecilia Fiona and performed by opera singer Lucie Cure, the piece merges sculpture, movement and voice, into a meditative ritual - part funeral, part fertility rite.
Wearing a hand-sewn, hand-painted costume by Cecilia Fiona, the performer moves through a sculptural landscape full of Cecilia Fiona’s sculptures created from paper pulp and resin.
The performer, acting as a cosmic pollinator, carries small hybrid beings from one sculptural body to another. This repeated act of physical transfer becomes the central gesture of the work. Her movements and voice form invisible threads between bodies and objects, forming an ecological system in the installation and connecting the micro and macrocosmos.
With each transfer, the performer animates the beings she carries through her voice. She sings, hums, and breathes into them. These vocalizations evoke the buzzing of insects and the murmurs of spirits,
The work draws inspiration from natural pollinators such as bees, whose quiet labor supports entire ecosystems, as well as from the Norse Norns — mythological figures who weave the threads of fate. By combining these references, Infinite Pollination explores how bodies, species and ecological systems are interlinked across time, space and scale.
