SOLAR BOAT

I want to see my mountains, BoCA - Biennial of Contemporary Arts
Ria Formosa, Faro, Portugal
Boat trip with sound installation
Curated by Delfim Sardo and Sílvia Gomes

"Solar Boat" is a sound installation for the Ria Formosa lagoon, Faro, Portugal.
A psychic boat trip between Faro and the Desert Island.

Gathering a set of contributions, the audio work is composed of sound excerpts from conversations, overdubbed, edited and distorted into a new stereo sound track.

The work, gently described both as emotional and terrifying, is set to create a link between physical and psychological landscapes, between the living and the dead, human and non-human.

A hymn for the crossing.
