Mouth, Tongues and Teeth with the Wood

Mariana is an artist and a swimmer. Assuming a performative attitude she often works in collaboration with water, temperature and other people. Based on her experience dealing with the limits and superpositions between her body and the environments she inhabits, she’s constantly wondering, if what’s in front of me is unfamiliar from my standing perspective, how can I reverse this relation by being unfamiliar to the presence of what there is? Her video is anticipating a sound correspondence with any listener. A beginning of a telematic movement that aims conversation without verbal language. In collaboration with Alphorn players, the text that goes with the images tells the story of a deep sound made to communicate at long distances. Out of sight, but in touch. To make a call to the non human. To breath empathy out and into the other.
