Lo que muda no muere

‘Lo que muda no muere’ offers a microscopic examination of time’s passage as an agent in constructing matter. This piece proposes a play of scales, rendering perceptible that which is inaccessible to the eye and ear: the constant flow of change.

‘Lo que muda no muere’ is part of the study of organic matter in decomposition. A methodically controlled process with the intention of turning it into image and sound. An electronic microscope and a small lighting set will create living landscapes that will be accompanied by the sounds produced by the decomposition of matter. In this way, a spatial and sound architecture is constructed that comes from looking at a small world in decomposition.

The devices on which ‘Lo que muda no muere’ is based form part of the stage work ‘El nacimiento de la bailarina vieja’.
The verse that gives the piece its title is a fragment of ‘Aprender by Ada Salas’.
