Sí, Me Transformo De Ti(Yes, I transform through you)
Letting go of impossible love & trauma cycles during 2020 and this pandemic.
The ritual involves:
Two candles to representing her lost love and her
String or cord to represent the bondage of the love connection and the traumas she wishes to let go
A piece of paper and a pen to petition for healing and release
The ritual involves candles, fire, bondage, tears, and at last: an ephemeral release. In order to
move forward, we have to let go of our attachments to love & the subsequent pain that keeps us
captive.
For this project, Lindred wanted to frame and distill a cord-cutting ritual that I have used to help herself
heal from an intense relationship that ultimately fell apart during this pandemic. In this series,
you see the transformation from the darkest parts of self, the highest self, and the multiplicities
of the twin flame splitting off and emerging anew.
Her Mexican-American heritage and South-Texas regional culture have informed the folk magic
that I practice. Spellwork and rituals offer strong modalities for deep healing. In her work she is a
cyber witch, using surround sound & guided meditation to transport people into otherworldly
realms.
Lindred (US) creates twisted holy pop, hyper-emotional music with glistening
melodies and elastic vocals. Manifested in spritely choirs and
disembodied voices of longing. The name is made up of Lindi and Dreda, a
nexus that connects serpent and beauty, despair and euphoria.
Now based in Berlin, performances there include ://about blank,
Humboldhain, Schokoladen, and Music for Cinemas. She has collaborated
with the rakolage.xxx experimental label,
performing remotely for the PS Festival where the performance was
broadcasted on Chaturbate and projected at Untitled Club
in Moscow. Recent music and A/V performances also include Sonic Ground
Festival (Munich), Hraničář Cultural Center Ústí nad Labem (Czech
Republic) and Austin Museum of Human Achievement (USA).
