O teu ouvido é maior

Permanent installation at the Academia de Música da Fortaleza de Valença.

Stoneware, porcelain, oxides and glazes, fired at 1220ºC, copper wire. 

O teu ouvido é maior, develops from a reflection on listening as a physical, sensory, and relational experience. From the interpretation of the forms of the auditory system, an abstract interpretation emerges of the structures associated with the perception, conduction and resonance of sound. 

THE ELEMENTS PRESENT THEMSELVES AS DEVICES OF PERCEPTION, EVOKING LISTENING AS A CONTINUOUS GESTURE BETWEEN THE BODY AND THE SURROUNDING SPACE.

The work proposes a displacement of the auditory experience into the visual and spatial domain. It activates a three-dimensional field in which sound, although invisible, is suggested through matter, form, and its arrangement within the environment.
