In the installation HOLY WATER continuing traumatic-historical events are transformed into a poignant perceptual experience. The work is based on a BBC interview recorded in Lalish, the Yazidi sanctuary in northern Iraq. Here, the guardian of the sacred Kanîya Sipî source subjects women and girls who have survived the genocide carried out by the so-called Islamic State since 2014 to a rebaptism. Through the ritual, they become Yazidis again due to the sexual violence perpetrated against them. The ritual of purification and healing resonates with both the Jewish tradition of the mikvah and the Christian baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. Yenirce approaches this ritual from a sonic perspective: bright synthesizer sounds and manipulated field recordings rise from found sound material. The virtuosic composition of various layers of sound simultaneously shatters hierarchical narratives in favor of a transcendental experience that conveys the cleansing of trauma while questioning its limits.
