Adrienne Herr  (b. US, lives and works in Berlin, DE) practice explores the plasticity of speech.  By delaying, stretching, stuttering, breaking, and juxtaposing phonetic components, she disassembles phrases and words. Her process begins with improvisation and thus engages the subconscious within language, especially on a sonic level. Regarding the voice as a tool for the production of authenticity, she develops polyphonic compositions to explore and subvert this vis-à-vis quick juxtapositions and reenactments of speech in multiple contexts and role plays. Through exhaustive scoring methods, her work illustrates a perceptual slippage between the immediate and the reproduced or staged.
