Lullaby For Floods
Performative Installation
Mediamatic, Amsterdam,NL
Sept-Oct 2025
Lullaby for Floods is a live sonic composition and a performative installation.
The lullaby embeds data from disruptive floods happened between 2024 and 2025 in Emilia-Romagna region (IT), live weather data (the cloud scanning from weather satellite data) at the moment of the live performance, and field recordings of flooded places before and after the flood.
Human bodies act like turbulences inside the nebulization. Humans are invited to move into the space during the composition, since rain falls regardless. The work aims to be a lullaby co-composition between humans and water, between the turbulences and flows characterizing our time, where after the floods, crickets and pollinators come back .
The installation premiered and performed at Mediamatic (Amsterdam, NL) during September 2025 as part of the Aquatope Program.
