Semilla, Entierro

An invitation to a ritual of sowing and offering: a collective moment that initiates the sound installation Semilla that will be buried underground. The sonic seed of Semilla is sowed as an offering to the Earth and a symbolic act of protection and reciprocity. The ritual activates a resonant movement that like a seed can grow in time. During the burial, the audience is invited to participate by helping to cover and plant the work. Once Semilla is buried, its position is marked by a cross on the ground – made of solar and reflective panels – where people can lie down and listen to the sounds it emanates from inside the Earth. Join the artist on this collective sound ritual as an opening act of the evening programme. We will meet at 17:30 at the meeting point in the ‘Huiskamer’ and walk together to the burial place outdoors next to Het HEM. Afterwards the sound installation Semilla will be open to the public.
