Margaux Gazur, sound artist and Elisa Cucinelli, visual artists presented a unique collaborative project ‘Whispers of Earth’ at Waking Life, in Portugal in June 2024. The performance embarks on an exploration of the world's textures, skillfully weaving together environmental themes through a captivating interplay of juxtaposed and confrontational images and sounds.

Margaux will explores possibilities of sounds, using instruments, everyday objects and field recording to create her sonic interpretation of the film floating between sound effect and music composition. Interacting with each other, the images will also react to the sound.

The film is a collage of footages, collected by Elisa during her travels, ranging from serene Buddhist monasteries in Vietnam and Thailand, forms a tapestry of diverse landscapes. This dynamic interplay creates a dialogue, oscillating between concrete and abstract visuals.

This project aspires to engage the audience on a profound level, encouraging them to interpret and create their own meanings. The contemplative music and imagery form a harmonious union, fostering a unique and introspective perspective on universal themes. Through this visual storytelling and deliberate exploration, the project seeks to provide the audience with a transformative and reflective experience that transcends traditional boundaries.
