NOSTALGIA
Interactive Sound Installation
Somerset House, London, 2021
"Nostalgia" is an interactive sound installation that invites the public to be part of a collective resonance. Made with 60 rain sticks arranged in an axis, the structure is designed to be touched and play as a huge musical instrument. Rain sticks were used in rituals and ceremonies in Latin American countries, to call the rain or the storm in their communities, this ancestral but contemporary instrument remaind us of the sound & soul of the rain and water.
Water is about to become just a memory for a lot of us, if we don't do something about water conservation, if we don't take care of our natural resources, all this will be just a nostalgia!
"Nostalgia" was designed to be a full sensorial experience that creates an emotional connection with the other person, whoever interact plays a role of triggering people's memories about the sound of water.
Before water becomes just an abstract memory in our lives, "Nostalgia" invites people to activate their senses and make an effort to preserve water alive.
