Gisela Motta and Leandro Lima: Chora Chuva

The installation that names the show, “Chora Chuva”, has just been presented at Vancouver Biennale (Canada).

For the Biennale, the artists were invited to develop a project based on the connotative definition of “Be at a crossroads“, or, in other words, the point in a narrative where the conflict reaches its peak and the tension demands to be solved.

A turning point. After that provocation, they created an installation composed by several buckets of water connected to speakers, which generate a sound of continuous dripping, simulating water leaks that aren’t there — a piece that can be understood as a direct reference to São Paulo’s current water crisis.
