The Spell

2023

Multichannel sound installation.

Presented at the exhibition “Nocturno del agua”, at Bombon Projects (Barcelona), from November 16, 2023 to January 19, 2024, and within the framework of the Loop Festival.

“The spell” creates a landscape with a person. On the one hand, it places a stream that descends constantly, without brakes. On the other hand, it resounds, from time to time, a spell that is pronounced from the edge of the water and, like a bridge, crosses to the other side.

This spell speaks to the beings that live in the water and communicate with the Beyond. It asks them to make possible what the laws have not yet achieved: to make it possible for us to recognize a river as a being that is, deep down, the same as us.
