By renewing poeticly contact with nature, the 'Cacophony Cemetry' is an hybride installation that bringing out biodiversity and urbanism. As a micro 'habitat-city' the living sculpture has it's own bio-mechanical organism, in a constant tension. Suspended by metal cables like 'artificial roots', the lacing of electronic wires weaved the muscle of human activity as a source of cacophony. The dialogue between the natural and artificial engages in confrontation, denouncing the environmental drift of our polluted senses. While the piano performs its partition composed of oppressive electronical noises, sculpted 'fetal ears’ listen the mysterious vibration of the universal song, echoing to the death of nature. When the wall of the ephemeral installation consumed the fuel of its inner reservoir, that vegetation rotted its last breath of beauty, all duality is called to en end.
