I BUILD MY LANGUAGE WITH ROCKS
ASH RAIN
IN COLLABORATION WITH ~PES
ash rain is a geophonic installation, part of the research process i build my language with rocks, a search for attunement to the grain of the earth’s voice, where language is not spoken but comes into being through trembling. what does it mean to listen to the deep, resonant vibrations of a volcanic archipelago? in resonance with édouard glissant’s archipelagic thinking, basaltic rocks pulse with the heartbeat of the planet—its seismic breath, the eruptions, formations, and dissolutions that surge from the earth’s core. as a language of deep time, these manifestations are forged in igneous depths where the earth continually reconfigures itself, where creation and destruction are bound in an endless, dynamic dance.
the installation carries forward glissant’s notion of language as something shaped by the earth’s forces—an uncontainable language born from the very core of the planet. ash rain listens to the deep, subterranean murmurs of the land—the geophonic whispers, basaltic dreams, shifting tremors, and basaltic echoes that erupt from the earth’s heart. these tremors interweave a subtle grid that becomes a liquid, shifting volumetric field, moving with each pulse, each vibration. it is not fixed; it is a fluid configuration, in a process of becoming, much like the earth’s own ongoing transformation.
basaltic rocks tremble with the deep pulses of the planet—eruptions, fractures, and a ceaseless rhythm of emergence and dissolution. the installation invites us to sense the world through the undercurrents of time, movement, and change. the earth does not speak in isolation, but through relation. in this work, ~pes invites us to become part of the unfolding rhythms of the planet, to integrate into the deep, living languages of the earth.
