Lefka

Artificial Times

Biography

Based between Milan and Amsterdam, Lefka is a designer and musician whose research is based on the connection between mental health issues and technological acceleration.

You, me and the end of everything

The theme of hyperpsycho is the connection between mental health problems and the digital and technological acceleration in which we are participating. Through the use of text interpolation, Lefka wrote new poems based on the book Love Lessons by Alda Merini, a Milanese poetess who devoted a large part of her life to the valorisation and destigmatisation of the ‘insane’, and Precarious Rhapsody from Franco Berardi. The project will be accompanied by site-specific musical performances by Lefka throughout the weekend, incorporating the sound of the organ of de Thomaskerk.
