Video documentation, Residuum, 2022

Stairs lead you up or down, sometimes to light, other times to darkness or unknown realms. We guide you through a fluid world, where three-headed snakes, dragonflies turning into salamanders, and solitary frogs reside. We take you deeper, into fossils evolving through liquid time and space, calling from the universe’s core with waves and elusive sounds.

Residuum, created in collaboration with Anaïs Balmón a.k.a. Gouaille, was showcased at ToBe Gallery in November 2022, marking the first tangible result of our partnership. This sound installation featured underwater recordings from Swiss rivers. Five unique plaster sculptures, each housing speakers, emitted shifting sounds. The sculptures evoked transformations between amphibians, reptiles, and insects, creating a world where these creatures seemed to merge. Visitors, with handheld torches, explored the dim gallery, immersed in sounds, damp air, and evolving aquatic fossils.
