Drawing through Space
This exploration awakens the sonic elements that construct architecture through the materiality of a space, a familiar one to the artist. A hollow aluminium rod, used to hang and pick up laundry, was dragged following a scenario of coming home from entering the house, to the spaces the artist usually swings by to do some routines before reaching her room. The rod should follow a straight line rule, allowing it to touch architectural elements, built from and finished with different materials - fence, floor, wall, door, ceiling, and so forth.
As she traced the space, organic sounds that unfold from the house she has been living in her whole life, making the invisible envelop palpable. The exploration shows that a simple action that is commonly associated with one active sense opens up a capability of transferring information to another. A question following this exploration is: how often do we activate our senses to really embody the reality surrounding us, or does the activation happen automatically without us being aware? If our bodies have an automatic mechanism for embodying reality, how should we use it for a good cause?
