When Voice Moves Mountains

"Connecting geological and human time, When Voice Moves Mountains subverts the use of the metal pipes from the TABOO Faultline Observatory in the region Marche, Italy. If in this earthquake-prone region they act as extractive elements, in Giulia del Gobbo’s sound installation they evolve as sensible mediators of sonic data. Visitors can interact with the pipes to perceive vocal acts and underground frequencies as sculpting agents of a space and to sense vibrations through one’s entire body.

Giulia’s interdisciplinary practice is developed at the intersection of critical design, embodied and curatorial practices, focusing on creating performative open-source spaces. This particular work uses embodied and sonic mediations to explore how one can reorient one's perception of and relationship to landscapes. "
