The Performing Garden @ Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Lisbon, PT)

  • Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Lisbon Portugal (map)

A collaboration with visual artist Rosana Antolí and soprano Claire Rocha Santos, commissioned by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

This electroacoustic composition and sculpture reimagines the operatic form by centering a more-than-human subject: the mallard duck.

Developed in collaboration with neuroscientists from the Instituto de Medicina Molecular and CAM Gulbenkian [Modern Art Centre], the work emerges from a cross-disciplinary dialogue between art, science, music, and ecology.

Installed in the new CAM Garden, a corten steel sculpture functions as both physical and conceptual score. The aria weaves together soprano voice, local bird calls, and real-time environmental data from the garden’s flora and fauna.
