leakages

leakages (ES)
multimodal~multichannel installation
_{process w/ ~pes}

leakages are affective activations and sensorial submersions in the extractive aquatic landscape of the Atrato river basin in the department of Chocó in Colombia

^{a sound brought me here
like the brown mud}

as the river, leakages navigate the polyphonic weave of these ever-changing landscapes. leakages are dynamic and change every time they are activated, either as an installation in dialogue with images or as a live listening session. as such, the Atrato is in constant manifestation in its multiple existences

^{a star explodes into pieces
underwater deposits
what stories do they tell?}

following the question of what or who is the Atrato river, leakages are sensorial navigations through the fragments that make up its course. both subject and network, the Atrato weaves together divergent voices leaking throughout this waterscape

^{water crawling down
el dorado}

composed of evocations that are perceived, inscribed, and translated in resonant frequencies and words, these activations are possibilities and potential ways of (be)coming together of the everyday and mundane details to re~emerge; the murmurs and whispers of sand and stones, sediments, gold and mercury, dragons, and their respective ghosts and shadows that manifest through unveiling interstices in this recomposed more-than-human ecology
