The instllation draws from science fiction, beginning with the supposed fall of a decommissioned nanosatellite, Rizqi-2, into Earth’s atmosphere. This event triggers an instantaneous rupture of silence in a language called gemer§ik, composed of sonic vibrations created by mechanical, epistemological, cultural, and systemic frictions. Through the convergence of different media, the work invites the audience into a space where past and future generate new possibilities of existence, meaning, and a rejection of fixed categories.

Comissioned for the 14th Mercosul Biennial, presented at Museu de Arte do Rio Grande do Sul - MARGS in Porto Alegra, Brasil. The installation was presented alongside sculptures by Nereyda Lopez. Curated by Raphael Fonseca.
