about

avis.arys.serdi (she/them) works with experimental formats and performative media, creating exhibitions for galleries and public spaces on various themes related to the ecosystem, such as landscape-based identity, personal histories and the process of adapting to ambiguous loss. The return to music and soundscape, became a process of reclaiming her fragmented personal chronology.

Since 2021 she is part of a duo called Uncertain Space, dealing with topics of caregiving, ambiguous loss, rituals and physical dependency and their first initiative SOLITAR is co-created with the local community of caretakers, followed by VANISHING POINT in 2023.

In 2022 with the transnational artist collective, an office, developed site-specific activations present at Documenta 15 (Germany), Fotograf Festival (Czech Republic) and Centrul de Proiecte (Romania).
avis.arys.serdi is part of the program ArtsLink International Fellowships: US Residency, 2024.

lyrics

I wanna turn those blue lights into strobe lights
Not blue flashing lights, maybe fairy lights
Those blue lights into strobe lights
Maybe even fairy lights, not blue flashing lights

Don't you run when you hear the sirens coming
When you hear the sirens coming you'd better not run
'Cause the sirens not coming for you

What have you done? You went to school that day
Was a bit late, but it wasn't Monday
Kept after class for answering back
You apologized, ain't no harm in that

What have you done?
(Into strobe lights) There's no need to run
(Not blue flashing lights) If you've done nothing wrong
Blue lights should just pass you by (maybe even fairy lights)

Gun crime into your right ear
Drugs and violence into your left
Before white headphones flooding
The auditory subconscious waves you accept

You're sitting on the 4 back home
(Where you're at G answer your phone?)
Pause the poison to answer his message
Your boy sounds rush, fears for his adolescent

What have you done?
(Into strobe lights) There's no need to run
(Not blue flashing lights) If you've done nothing wrong
Blue lights should just pass you by (maybe even fairy lights)

Tall black shadow as you're getting off the bush
Shadow shows no emotion, so what's even the fuss?
But the face of your boy casts a darker picture
Of the red handed act he's gonna whisper

Look blood, I'm sorry 'cause I know you got my back
He was running, I couldn't think I had to get out of that
Not long ago, you were miming to the "Shook Ones"
Now this really is part two, 'cause you're the shook one

Hands you the tool as you question your friendship
How's man like you gonna make me a convict?
Level of a felon when I've done nothing wrong
Blood on my hands, but I don't know where it's from, oh

You got blood on your hands, but you don't know where it's from
You'd better run when you hear the sirens coming

When you hear the sirens coming
Better run when you hear the sirens coming
'Cause they will be coming for you
Run when you hear the sirens coming
Better run when you hear the sirens coming

When you hear the sirens coming
The blue lights are coming for you

What have you done?
(Into strobe lights) There's no need to run
(Not blue flashing lights) If you done nothing wrong
Blue lights should just pass you by hmm (maybe even fairy lights)

Run when you hear the sirens coming
Don't you run when you hear the sirens coming
Run when you hear the sirens coming
Don't you run when you hear the sirens coming

What have you done

Don't you run
Don't you run
Don't you run when you hear the sirens coming
