MEDIUM; FÜUN’ is a spatial installation by artist and spatial designer Mále Uribe Forés. I was commissioned to design soundscapes for the installation made by digitally rendered sculptures cast in large-scale Jesmonite surfaces, charged with encoded layers of information with projection mapping and a sculptural seat. Another goal was to combine previously recorded six poems in three languages (English, Spanish & Mapudungun) with the soundscapes. While designing the sound pieces, I focused on the cultural elements of South America and used instruments that belong to The Mapuche Tribe.

“This MA project explores the vertical surface as a ‘medium’, at an architectural scale—operating between the worlds of the real and supernatural, material and virtual, digital and crafted, past and present.
With the use of light, sound and material textures, ‘MEDIUM; FÜUN’ is a spatial installation in a speculative museographic context, enacted by the surface as a relational and performative device able to transport us into alternative narratives and worlds. In this piece, the surfaces explore feminine cosmological perspectives from South America through poetry and textile art; creating a liminal space for new conversations to emerge around space, materials and decolonizing feminism.”
