LIQUID DRUMS is a soundscape and a series of objects. It explores the relationship between water and the body, mediated by culture. Parting from the intimacy of sensory memory, it rehearses games with tools and artifacts, paying tribute to manual labor and physical contact with nature. Water enables a community to settle, while rhythm symbolizes that permanence.
Some people from Várzea shared their narratives of water and rhythm with me, this work is also a tribute to those stories.
