How to listen to water? is a part of the project Of Wells, Vessels and Whispers which invites visitors to explore their relationship with water through three interconnected installations merging craft, participatory experiences and storytelling.
How do we treat water as a layered agent of connection?
This project treats water as a storyteller, embodiment of actions, states, and relationships rather than a uniform substance or resource. In all its fluidity, water fulfills the roles we ascribe to it. By seeking to foster empathy with water, through it, we seek to empathize with the rest of the living world that has similar interactions with it. Through fabric pieces, pigment experiments, and a participatory “Water Lab,” visitors witness water shaping narratives. As it flows through hidden colors, it creates evolving patterns offering a poetic space for contemplation of fluidity and porosity as a way of being.
