about

Selected field listenings from the varying landscapes of Guaviare, Colombia 2022.

Situated on the edge of the Amazon basin at the center of Colombia, these landscapes have immense biodiversity threatened by increasing development and agricultural land transformation. Biophonic recordings can provide an auditory record of the species, while conveying their entangled ecologies. Composed of a series of temporal recordings from across the landscapes of the Nükak Makü people, which include territorial calls of monkeys, bats caves carved by ancient rivers, a typical afternoon rainstorm, and nocturnal birds in the stillness of a flooded forest.

Artists:
Jacob Moginot is a scientist and sound artist working with landscapes beyond the seen, finding fascinating interactions within natural sonic symphonies heard in changing ecologies. Jacob recorded these soundscapes alongside research with
Zannah Matson, who examines the afterlives of colonially through highway construction in Colombia’s Eastern piedmont landscapes. Her work thinks about power structures, transportation infrastructure, and visual representation of Colombian landscapes, and the impacts that these structural injustices have on the ecosystems and human lives at the edge of the Amazon basin.
