SOUNDWALK | 30 minUTES
Cantera Oriente is a sound and light performance created for the exhibition "Spaces of Resistance: An Inexact Catalog of Nature on the Edges of a City," a project by Arte+Ciencia and Bios ex Machina. The piece explores urban-nature negotiations in Mexico City, focusing on Cantera Oriente — a former quarry transformed into an ecological reserve within the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
Structured in five movements, the work weaves field recordings of water in its five forms within the reserve: underwater, underground, rainfall, post-rain droplets, and a continuous flowing spring. Water emerges as a transformative force, reshaping an industrial landscape into a sanctuary of resilience — an inadvertent tribute to Mexico City’s lacustrine past.
