AYNI
It proposes a collective listening ritual rooted in the relationship between human presence and the land. Using transducers and resonant materials, the installation amplifies subtle vibrations, symbols, and the use of the voice, creating a shared sonic experience that connects bodies, objects, and territory. The work invites participants to slow down and engage in attentive listening as a form of reciprocity and exchange.

The Listening Biennial - 3rd Edition
Puna (Del quechua, del māori)
Es manantial y también la región de las alturas andinas. El inicio, la fuente que fluye, la ligereza de estar cerca del cielo.
It is a spring, and also the region of the Andean heights. The beginning, the flowing fountain, the lightness of being close to heaven.
In this piece, I explore the sounds of memory and connection: the ones with our origins, the ones with the world we live in, the ones related to our traumas, and the ones that call our spirit back to continue.
***Recordings made in Te Awanga, Lake Waikaremoana and Auckland (Tāmaki Makaurau) in Aotearoa New Zealand; and in Puno, Caritamaya (Nación Aymara), Chua Chua (Nación Q’ero) and Lima in Peru; between November 2019 and February 2025.
