about

In July of this year I was invited to participate in the Art Residence ‘Tecnología Primitiva’ (Primitive Technology) that took place in the desert of Boyacá, Colombia in an area called Marte (Mars) because of its visual resemblance with the red planet. The premise of the residence was to explore this arid location trying to make it a fertile one in creative terms by working under very austere conditions such as absence of electric power.

For this residence my idea was to intervene into the incidental sounds of the area in the least intrusive way possible so I mounted a bell and a stick that were acoustically activated by the wind simultaneously with the trees, bushes and the sound of the wind itself. The bell montage was left in the desert indefinitely and it is now part of the landscape and acoustic atmosphere of Marte even though most of the time nobody will be there to listen.

The residence project resulted in an exhibition where I presented the sound of the bell projected inside a bell that I mounted as listening device. The piece played on the exhibition is ‘Silent toll’ that is now part of the Framework Seasonal series.
