In stressful situations there are three responses that are initiated by our brain: fight, freeze and flee. These are artworks visualizing these responses. Some words from Zophieq's research about this subject:
"Our muscles tighten and our blood pressure and heart rate rise, so you feel your heart pounding in your chest. Pupils dilate. Blood is drawn from the organs and sent to the muscles. Senses become sharper and the pain threshold rises to a very high level. Our body is prepared for fighting, freezing or fleeing."
For this project Zophieq made three tracks about these three individual responses. Her music is described as atmospheric downtempo pop songs with beats and fragile vocals. When she asked me to make these three artworks, I was completely free in how to approach them.
Fight: Bad traveller
Freeze: Dangerous
Flee: Lust
