Pedoulas, night, 2010 / 2024
Sound recording
duration 12 hours
A microphone was installed in Troodos Mountains near the village of Pedoulas, Cyprus, to record the nighttime acoustics. The chirping of crickets merges with the sound of a mountain breeze crawling through the forests.
At MAXXI, the work is activated at night, in sync with the original recording. Every evening, as visitors leave the building and the exhibition spaces fall dark, the sounds of the Troodos Mountains echo in the empty halls.
Pedoulas, night was part of the exhibition No Time for Prophecies, curated by Chiara Ianeselli with Davide Daninos.
