Watch: Pink Oculus - Live at Le Guess Who? 2021

Recordings

Dutch-Surinamese artist Pink Oculus premiered her new project 'Before Wisdom' live at TivoliVredenburg during Le Guess Who? 2021. 'Before Wisdom' is a special collaboration with audiovisual artist Boris Acket, spatial designer and scenographer Dennis Vanderbroeck, and writer Vincent van Velsen.

The newest video to appear online now is 'TAUT', live at Le Guess Who? 2021. Earlier on, we also published 'NOTIFY ME', 'HIDE' and 'WATER | AWAY'. You can watch all videos below:

"At last year’s Le Guess Who? festival [Pink Oculus] introduced her album project Before Wisdom with a towering performance enhanced by the interactive light installations of Boris Acket.

Pink Oculus, whose real name is Esperanza Denswil, has now released double lead singles “WATER” and “AWAY”. The former is a spectacular, serpentine wickerwork of organic and synthetic percussion. “I melt with each notice, of wordlessness within”, Denswil sings, almost as like a memento to herself." - Beats Per Minute
