Tatiana Gerasimenok (1992) is a Belarusian composer and writer based in Germany. Her works are multimedia pieces composed of various art elements and technologies. Tatiana describes her music as a ritual, a game, a psychophysical trip. In her art she is interested in exploring the universal human language, such as crying, coughing, laughing, moaning, facial expressions, body movements and perceives these primary signals of the human body as pure energy through which it broadcasts its inner state and communicates with the environment. Tatiana’s approach to her ritual music attempts to break down the barrier between the audience and the artist and establish a more meaningful connection.
