In this station, abundance is conceived as reverberation — what echoes, what persists, what becomes visible when we see and listen with time, attention, and openness. It manifests in silence, in latency, in what resists evidence or the speed of the image. Against an idea of visibility as totality, the works presented here operate through subtlety, deviation, and displacement.

Mapping is, in this context, a critical and sensitive gesture. The works rehearse ways of rereading archives, listening to territories, or inhabiting time differently. Between soundscapes, historical documents, geological tremors, and damaged images, a common field of inquiry emerges into how memory is produced and transmitted — and how to listen to what has been left unsaid. By bringing body, archive, sound, and matter into relation, these proposals open up space for situated, relational, and affective forms of knowledge.

Works on Display

Ana Vieira
As Chaves (2008)
With a practice attentive to the invisible and the intimate, Ana Vieira invites the audience to illuminate phrases engraved in the dark. The act of seeing becomes active and relational, calling on the body and its senses to discover what only reveals itself slowly — a tribute to attention, listening, and the unsaid.

Isabel Medeiros
Aclarar (2023)
Drawing from the memory of her grandparents and the eruption of the Capelinhos volcano, Isabel Medeiros composes an intimate visual essay on forgetting, time, and matter. The film, made of images contaminated by fungi, proposes a sensitive archaeology of memory, filled with texture and grain, where erasure is transformed into a poetic gesture.

Joana Sá (New Commission)
Variations on Unquietness (2025)
A pianist and researcher, Joana Sá listens to the territory as a restless, vibratory body. In dialogue with the volcanism of the Azores, she transposes geological rhythms into sonic, performative, and editorial experiences. Her practice explores the abundance that inhabits instability — an expanded listening that links body, time, and place in search of other ways of being in the world.

Jokkoo Collective (New Commission)
Spectral Traces (2025)
By combining field recordings, composition, film and archival research this installation invites us into a process of speculative investigation and deep listening. Inspired by cinematic dynamics and techniques used in sci-fi and horror, the ambiguous and affective power of sound takes precedence over the visual, becoming the vital medium for drawing out traces of Afro-diasporic memories and resonances in the Azorean landscape.
