Water Shape : Tarenja
“Water Shape : Tarenja” installation
The project combines a sculpture installation with musical performance in a process of contemplating water as a poetic and cultural phenomenon that inspires people’s imagination and creativity and as an ecological and existential issue. It is also an artistic attempt to write the history of thirst by deconstructing the aesthetics of the desert space and the politics of living there as the sounds of drums, reed flutes and parched throats echo from behind the tents and the dunes. The idea of this project was inspired by the droughts experienced by the inhabitants of the Oued Draa region in Morocco. The title is borrowed from an Amazigh term associated with pagan water fetching rituals
