Soma of the Land, 2024 Mixed-media installation with video, 3D animation, sound, and chitosan sculptures With Carolina Ovando and Wro Wrzesinka; sound by Nicole Bettencourt Coelho
ArtistsSoma of the Land is a transdisciplinary research-based art project that explores the relationship between inner perception and the intelligence of landscape. Emerging from a long-term engagement with Bulgarian water springs, the project investigates how places themselves hold memory, dream, and somatic knowing—and how we might listen to them differently. The project is deeply informed by hydrofeminism, morphic resonance, and posthuman ecologies. It treats feeling as a valid epistemological mode: an opening into planetary intelligence. Through poetic, non-linear formats, Soma of the Land invites audiences to slow down, attune, and confront other states of sensing. It challenges dominant, disembodied ways of knowing and makes space for emotion, intuition, and ecological imagination as tools for resistance and repair.
