Water Appears

What does it feel like to dive into a world where time, weight, and sound shift?
This project centers on water and its profound influence on the human voice. Since the human body is composed mostly of water, the artists explore this connection by creating a space that evokes the sensation of floating—sometimes tipping into the experience of overflow.
The audience encounter a transparent mirror wallpaper installation, illuminated by spotlights that cast shifting reflections onto the surrounding walls. A layered sound composition, blending field recordings and live vocals is played in the space.
Live performances will take place during the exhibition, inviting the audience into an intimate, immersive musical experience. The artists will create a live composition using their bodies, voices, and sonic materials.
The soundscape for Water Appears is built from a sonic diary. Field recordings captured in the artists’ living environment in the Old City of Jerusalem, specifically within the ancient underground cave known as the Queen Helen Cistern. This environment, rich with history and natural resonance, serves as both source and inspiration.
As women living on burning ground—in a conflicted region filled with pain and hostility—the artists find in this cave a shelter, a place where their voices can echo, resonate, and expand. The area where they recorded creates a strong contrast to the difficult and turbulent everyday life they live.
