Playing Space / Playing Territory - PLANET ISLAND

A site-specific sound action created in Linosa on 26.02.26. The intervention is part of an ongoing path of practices in which the artist activates a radical listening of places, transforming what is already present into instruments and resonant surfaces: volcanic stones, branches, boat fragments, wind. The performance emerges from a direct encounter with the environment: a wall of black stones, the island’s intense light, vegetation advancing everywhere, and its geological nature. Linosa reveals itself as an autonomous sonic body, a planet in itself, almost extraterrestrial, with which the artist enters into dialogue. Through minimal gestures—rubbings, light tapping, vibrations of a tuning fork—the landscape is activated as an acoustic device. Sound is not produced to be added, but to be revealed. A video recording of almost twenty minutes documents an environment in which wind, rocks, and sky become co-authors of the work, placing it on a threshold between field recording and extemporaneous sound action. The intervention opens a reflection on the relationship between body, matter, and territory: an invitation to reread space through listening in order to better understand its sensitive dimension.
