I am here.
I call a friend and she answers the call.
Via a video connection I lead her through the scenery
and I describe in words what we are looking at.
My description structures the first few minutes of our conversation.
After that, our talk meanders naturally in all directions. Continue reading
Merging spaces
in collaboration with Elia Torrecilla
Two simultaneous improvised sound walks in the streets of Valencia (Spain) and Badefols d’Ans (France).
Sounds were created through the improvised use of everything we encountered while walking.
The continuous exchange of the live sounds over the phone allowed for immediate feedback and reaction.
Both recordings were superimposed in the editing process,
and retained their own stereo structure,
making them part of a shared sound space.

Spill
At the Río Segura I filled a glass with water, and I walked up the mountain.
I stopped at a spot from where I had a clear view at the valley and the river below.
With the glass in my hand, I bent down slowly and repeatedly,
synchronised with the rhythm of my breathing.
With each bending movement, water spilled from the glass onto the ground.
The work was finished when the glass was empty.

Empathic exercise

adjusting constantly my steps to the speed of the current. Continue reading

Memory Allocation
In the Parque De Las Cuevas (38° 10′ 36″ N 1° 22′ 06″ W) in Blanca, Spain, there is an empty semi-circle of sand measuring about 60 by 30 metres. At the outer edge of the semicircle are ten benches, arranged in groups of four, two, three and one. The benches face the centre of the space. Between and beside these groups of benches, there are five straight walkways, which are directed towards the centre like radials. The Rio Segura runs along the flat side of the semicircle.
Staan, watching waters flow
while travelling in a southerly direction:
seven times ten minutes
standing in a frozen position
arms beside my body,
watching waters flow.
