I CAN BE A SEED IN THE WATERFALL

NO SOUND OF WATER VIEW GUIDED BY SOFIA PROBERT

DESCRIPTION

Arte Abierto invites our public to Troika’s No Sound of Water show, in a guided visit with biologist Sofía Probert.

Thursday, February 28, 2022.
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Aimed at all public.
Limited to 15 atendees.
This event is free admission and no pre-registration is required.

IN THE WATERFALL I CAN BE A SEED

As part of the public program of < Arte Abierto > and the activities of the NO SOUND OF WATER exhibition, we invite the public to revisit the Troika exhibition together with the biologist and disseminator of the climate crisis, SOFÍA PROBERT; from a new narrative that seeks to reflect on how we dialogue with the complexity that inhabiting this present entails.

In the Waterfall I can be a Seed is a journey accompanied by Sofía Probert that seeks to intersperse the content of the exhibition No Sound of Water with its symbolic, biological level and with its intimate and sensitive scope, a scope that we discover as we are inside the installation.

It is an introspective visit to delve into the different concepts that the exhibition addresses; such as the idea of the anthropocene, the notion of the inhospitable, synthetic biology, fictitious ecosystems, the power to imagine futures or the possibility of the existence of non-organic intelligences. Some elements that compose the installation will also be explored; such as salt, white-toned environment or sound.

From a collective dynamic outdoors and next to the trees of < Arte Abierto >, the participants will be able to close the process of their visit by sharing their experience in order to create a collective map of emotions.

In the Waterfall I can be a Seed is an invitation to (re)think the future of life based on one’s own experiences.

Sofía Probert (1999) She is currently studying Biology at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana UAM, Xochimilco. Her interest in biology has led her to develop, from different artistic disciplines, a constant dialogue between organic life and aesthetics, combining digital and analog processes. Her work proposes to rethink our relationship with the natural world from a critical reflection on the anthropocentric view of biodiversity, living beings and nature. Probert explores the ways in which organic life expresses itself aesthetically and develops a constant political discourse around socio-environmental problems such as the climate crisis and the struggle for women’s liberation.

Free admission.

NO SOUND OF WATER

ESPACIO ABIERTO

TROIKA. NO SOUND OF WATER

11.12.2021 – 05.15.2022

No Sound of Water is a large-format, immersive installation that takes the viewer into an isolated, salt-filled reality. Being inside, you can feel an atmosphere that transports you to a place that could exist in the future. With this installation that simulates a fictional ecosystem, Troika seeks to reflect on the future of the Earth and its transformation into an inhospitable place due to human activity.

For more than two decades, Troika art collective, formed in 2003 by Eva Rucki (Germany, 1976), Conny Freyer (Germany, 1976), and Sebastian Noel (France, 1977), has sought to challenge our perception of the world and its eventual destruction. For the exhibition ‘No Sound of Water’, they present two works that together form a hostile and desolate landscape that, although it could be thought of as part of a fictitious ecosystem, could become a reality due to the effect of various destructive human actions. Far from enunciating an ecological discourse or moral, the exhibition focuses on the problems caused by technological, capitalist and industrial advances and the impact they have to the point of causing a new geological era (the Anthropocene) and the eventual decomposition of the Earth .

No Sound of Water forms part of their ongoing project Untertage. Meaning ‘below the earth’, or literally, ‘under the day’, Untertage takes shape as an elaborate ecosystemic fiction: its protagonist, salt, is devised as the hero of an aeonian drama of world domination.

The No Sound of Water (2021) installation consists of an industrial processing machine that refers to extractive technologies. Through an upper channel, the structure works like a cascade of salt in constant movement, as if it were an infinite hourglass, to the point of becoming uncontrollable: the salt spills through the room, accumulates in the crevices of the floor or even in the folds of the visitors’ clothes. With salt as the central element, the piece proposes an alternative reading in which this mineral is not only an element of human and natural extinction but, is also responsible for creating an era based on non-organic intelligence and synthetic biology. The very title of the piece alludes to the total absence of a key and organic element such as water.

On the opposite side, the Terminal Beach (2020) video takes place in the middle of a desolate and impoverished territory where the only thing that can be seen is the last tree on the face of the earth and a robotic arm that constantly hits the trunk of the tree with an ax. The harshness of the atmosphere is reinforced by an acoustic background made up of the sounds of lightning, solar winds and geomagnetic storms, captured as radio waves by the British Antarctic Survey. The metaphor of the video is compelling: we are destroying the world that sustains us and every advance of technology, capitalism and industry is also a step towards extinction.

< Arte Abierto > presents Troika, with the exhibition No Sound of Water which will be on display and open to the public at Espacio Arte Abierto located on the 2nd floor of ARTZ Pedregal from November 12, 2021 to May 15, 2022 from Tuesday to Sunday from 12:00 to 7:00 p.m.

• No Sound of Water is an immersive, large-format installation that takes the visitor into an isolated, salt-filled reality. Being inside, you can feel an atmosphere that transports you to a place that could exist in the future.

• Through an installation that simulates a fictitious ecosystem, the collective seeks to reflect on the future of the Earth and its transformation into an inhospitable place as a result of human activity.

• The exhibition will be open from November 12, 2021 to May 15, 2022 at Espacio Arte Abierto located in Artz Pedregal.

<Arte Abierto> presents Troika’s work through two installations that are exhibited for the first time in Mexico: No Sound of Water (2021), commissioned by the Arte Abierto Foundation, and Terminal Beach (2020).

For more than two decades, the Troika contemporary art collective, formed in 2003 by Eva Rucki (Germany, 1976), Conny Freyer (Germany, 1976) and Sebastian Noel (France, 1977), has sought to challenge our perception of the world and its eventual destruction.
