‘El lenguaje de la fuente’ (The language of the fountain) is a site-specific sound installation that drinks from ‘La Fontina’, a fountain situated in San Román de Candamo and that has been dry since the access to municipal water was made available throughout the village. The piece is part of a series of works in which I use water and different forms of filtration and channelling of fluids as a metaphor to talk about contemporary systems of communication, distribution and organisation of information. It is a proposal that invites us to stop and listen attentively to the lost language of the fountain, before continuing with the unbridled rhythm of our drifts.
