A machine for agricultural irrigation is placed at the center of the exhibition, and its activation triggers a musical rhythm that explores the political conception of sound and the impact of technology on rural landscapes. Based on the idea of water shortage alternating with water abundance, a representation of the “panighìri,” traditional village festivals typical of the Xiròmero region, is put on stage. A juxtaposition between global and local experiences conveys information about the perception of time within the community, marked by planting, irrigation, and harvest phases.
