Sound installation and performance
The Mother Tongue arose from the search for those beings who, although physically invisible, are nevertheless a part of life.

The Mother Tongue
Humans are connected to them through memories, feelings, smells, touch, and intuition. They find them in sounds. Sounds of stories that emerge from the frictions of the great machine of industry, borders, politics, and systems.
Jazgul Madazimova's performative sound installation explores the rhythms of those frictions and how they dance through the stories of Kyrgyz factory workers—rhythms of survival, rhythms between birth and death, rhythms of loss, love, and the search for happiness in between. These are the rhythms of their mother tongue.
The work was created in collaboration with the Davra Collective and Saodat Ismailova as part of their participation in documenta 15.
- As part of the 7th Berlin Autumn Salon YAE:IMAGINE: THE RED HOUSE
