Alexandra Hallén
composer
![]()
Alexandra Hallén is a multi-faceted artist, composer and performer who explores the boundaries of herself and the audience. By using objects, she brings reality into the art, and thus provokes genuine emotions and bodily reactions: e.g. bathing in ice to feel really cold, and cutting onions to bring out real tears. The performer in Hallén’s pieces is no longer a mediator of the composer’s emotions: she has to live her own real emotions and bodily sensations in order to perform the work.
