In her performance, Vittoria Assembri (Italy) makes dry plants, wood, and stones sing, fragments torn from the landscape that she reinvents in sound. Between fragile percussion and melancholic loops, her microphones capture the intimate vibration of matter, revealing a sound poetry where nature and memory intertwine.
