João Modé - For the silence of plants
12/17/2011 — 04/01/2012
Cavalariças – Parque Lage, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
The exhibition proposed an intervention, designed by João Modé, especially for the Parque Lage. The work occupies since the gateway, crosses the space of Cavalariças and extends into the forest.
In the forest, paths constructed above ground level giving access to several points where speakers are installed, playing music and various sounds (some directly related to nature and others totally out of context).
Into the building of Cavalariças works a meditation space, a intersection of the street and the forest where the instalation develops. This space is occupied by the sound control, some musical instruments so people can interact and play music, and also some documentation of the process as: drawings, engravings, photographs and a notebook with a list of songs.
