Songs of extinction is a project that speaks to the world about the world, hovering between the rediscovery of a landscape where man is only passing through and leaves no trace, and a landscape where man feeds off the earth and leaves ashes behind him defacing, deforesting, and endangering delicate but essential ecosystems. I am collaborating with Rainforest Connection, a nonprofit who utilizes acoustic technology to protect threatened ecosystems from illegal activities (like illegal logging which is the 2nd leading cause of climate change), and monitor biodiversity around the world.
The idea is to use this soundscape in dialogue with a body investigating the animals and ecosystems they inhabit, immersed in video projections that are part of my personal memory of these habitats.
