Eight voices are reverberated from the inside out of eight clay pots (which carry the approximate measurement of the body), arranged in a circle and buried to the surface, seeking to speak of a movement that is continuous. They are voices spoken within the earth and amplified by the clay. The voice addressed at the work does not use the word, has no speech, language or culture. The voice seeks to speak of its own breath, in all its power and precariousness. It deals with the individual breath, and how it exists together. When a person’s breath ends, another begins, like voices that continue in each other, like a breath that restart with each voice, from the inside out of the earth. The voice, the breath that is naturally finite, as a unit of time for a larger seam, of indeterminate time.

In September 2019, I did a first experience http://marialaet.com/obra/a-medida-da-voz/ . It helped me to understand both poetic and technical issues of the work. Thus, many aspects were developed, and the unfolding of this experience, generated the series Imersão http://marialaet.com/obra/imersao/ )

I started thinking about this work at the end of 2018, more precisely at the day when Bolsonaro won the first round of the election in Brazil. So I was asking myself, if I wanted to shout, where I would like to do that. In other words, if my work had to place his voice somehow, where and how I would do that.
