This is a sound installation situated in a dark space bereft of any visual stimulus, produced in collaboration with Archivo de la Tradición Oral del Pueblo de Asturias (Oral Tradition of the Asturian People Archive). Field recordings and interviews were undertaken all over Asturias in order to compile a sound collage whose ambition is to reclaim the power of the symbolic as a metaphor of our times. It is accompanied by surround sound which cushions the recordings in order to emphasise certain feelings. The sounds are triggered by a Pure Data application, connected to a series of loudspeakers and megaphones distributed throughout the exhibition hall, allowing the creation of different representations of the layers of sound. The megaphones are used as symbols of protest, and of the use and normalisation of Llingua.
