GlogauAIR Artist in Residence / Berlin. https://glogauair.net/artist/maria-ferrer/

A hybrid between sculpture and musical instrument, strings stretched with different strengths produce metallic and strident sounds when manipulated. Through this act, it is proposed to pay attention to the spinal vibrations; to the personal listening. What does what sustains us sound? Listening to the body tends to the spirit.
