The Act of Disappearing ~ segundas na z

— Melissa Vey & Orfea Grammatikopoulos

Mon20.04.2610:00PM
Galeria Zé dos Bois


Curiosity is the divine in search of itself — a theoretical disappearing act.
Dark times ahead. Everything must change. We must change everything.
How to start reimagining after disillusionment?
An oscillation between wanting to be seen / wanting to disappear; wanting to be held / wanting to dissolve; wanting meaning / wanting mystery.
Belief not as certainty, but as something you keep choosing, even after it’s failed you.
A musical.. but like, in a “a nuanced existential crisis” kinda way.
Music co-produced by Kerem Isik, live saxophone accompaniment by Orfea Grammatikopoulos.

Melissa Vey

Vey moves between performance artist & vocalist with playfulness, balancing excess with restraint. She utilises her voice, her body, samplers, synths and collaborations to question the current, the urgent, the timeless.
Vey’s practice unfolds in the space between careful construction and pure chance. Through this tension, she captures fragments from the life of a thirty-something navigating uncertainty, agency, and belonging. Just like her hometown Istanbul, a city where due to its history, contradictions found ways to coexist, Vey feels home in a layered reality. Always in motion between her various selves, she explores the friction between thoughts, actions, performance, and curiosity. This mosaic allows contrasts to not only coexist, but define her work.
She demands attention while making room for vulnerability, allowing moments of exposure to surface and take center stage when needed.
Vey is based in Berlin.

Orfea Grammatikopoulos

Orfea (he/she) is a queer Greek sound artist who spent way too much time studying classical music and is now putting it to good use. Combining knowledge with intuition, analog with digital, and a keen ear for textures and grooves, he manoeuvres around genres and defies labels. She’s currently based in Berlin.
