Participants can listen using earphones to a track I created of narrated verse, music and conversations whose frequency and amplitude are generating the visuals on two walls (walls #1,#2) When participants talk into one of the provided microphones, the impact of their voice is projected on wall #2 altering the visuals. And their voice is recorded added to the audio track, hence generating new visuals on wall #1 Every sound leaves a mark, which is eventually altered and distorted by new imagery and new voices have added. installation at Harvestworks “Far Away: installation” The Wild Project Interactive installation/ motion activated

When approached, a large projection of volcanos begins to disintegrate.

Simultaneously, illustrations of the poem The Drowned Horse appear on the opposite side of the room.

“Far Away, installation” demonstrates our propensity towards ownership and disruption.

In this installation, the disruption is represented by a volcanoe which we are effecting by our very presence. The volcanoes lava, in a sense, is the imagery of a poem (“The Drowned Horse” by Pablo Antonio Cuandra which warned of invasion of Nicaragua) spilling into the room.

Screening of my documentary in progress “Far Away: Poetry in Nicaragua“.
