Your emptiness is not as empty as you think

In her work, Amanda Homa explores how materials can shift and transform. Using aluminium wire — light, flexible, yet remarkably strong — she renders processes visible that usually remain hidden. She draws lines into space and leaves behind subtle, fragile traces of change.

During the Fringe Festival, Amanda will spend ten days in Leuven, engaging in an artistic exchange with visual artist Gijs Coenen. Like a kind of blind date, they will discover each other’s practices and look for points of connection in the way they see and create. In this sharing, they won’t present a traditional work-in-progress of a new piece; instead, they will wander together with the audience through what has emerged from their encounter.

About the artist

Amanda Homa is an aerialist specialising in rope. She began as a graphic designer but found her calling in contemporary circus. She trained in São Paulo, Turin, and Toulouse, and worked with, among others, Ockham’s Razor and Chloé Moglia.

In 2021 she founded Diagonale du Vide, a company developing a “circus of interiority” - a form that makes inner landscapes tangible. With this solo, Amanda explores how objects, like language, carry traces of movement, adaptation, and identity.

Artist talk

An (English-language) artist talk with Amanda Homa will take place on November 28 at 12:00 PM in Cas-co.
