Invisible Lake it’s an experimental photography and sounds exhibition that seeks to make visible the critical environmental issues facing Colombia's Lake Tota, being one of the lakes with the worst water treatment in Colombia. My interest is the creation of sounds from images, a search for the attribution of a voice of its own to this body of water, some sort of scream that is extracted from an image and is transferred to a completely different context from its own.
Three photographs of a similar extract of the lake were used, with a time difference, one in the morning, another at midday and another at night that I called (Surface tension), and through a software that scans the image creating a sound, three sound compositions were created that were then reproduced in a sound installation, this installation used a black bucket full of water to which were installed old speakers that emitted the sound and in contact with the water waves were generated, the very representation of the waves of water in the lake.
The interest of this installation is to generate a conversation around the way we observe, and address the vulnerability of nature as a provider of elements for human survival, and as an entity devoid of voice and rights.
Thanks for watching!
