SOLAR
May 11 — June 10, 2023
Appleton [Box], Lisbon, Portugal
A project by Miguel Ferrão, Eduardo Guerra and Claudia Pestana
Co-production Balaclava Noir
In the past, “Solar Boat” was played during the journey of a SOLAR-powered boat transporting people from the mainland to DESERTA island.
“Solar Boat” is a sound work made from recordings of PRIVATE conversations ALTERED through sound effects.
In this environment, these recordings are UNKNOWN landscapes that can be inhabited as INTIMATE and familiar through sensing and BEING PRESENT — an ACT involving the whole BODY .
Combining SOUND, LIGHT, WARMTH, space, TIME, image, — and their ABSENCE — “Solar” operates a deceleration and SUSPENSION of movement.
