Artist and electro-acoustic composer\u00a0Tarek Atoui<\/strong>\u00a0(Beirut, Lebanon, 1980) works on large-scale compositions that stem from anthropological, ethnological, musicological, and technical research. His exhibitions weave installations, performances, and education, in processes that move away from the conventional notion of performance, both for the performer and the audience, and that suggest forms of visual, aural, tactile, and somatic experience of sound. Atoui\u2019s first exhibition in Portugal,\u00a0Waters\u2019 Witness<\/em>, at the Serralves Museum, is part of the project\u00a0I\/E<\/em>, ongoing since 2015, in which he captures the sounds of port cities \u2014 Athens, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Beirut or Porto \u2014 by recording their harbours\u2019 industrial, human, and ecological activities. Together with artist\/recordist Eric La Casa, they listen to sound below the surface of the sea or within materials such as metal, stone, and wood. On\u00a0Waters\u2019 Witness<\/em>, the audio recordings of the seaports of Athens, Abu Dhabi and Porto are played through materials chosen in each location \u2014 marble stones from Athens, steal beams from Abu Dhabi, and wooden structures housing compost, worms and organic material, specifically produced for the Serralves presentation. The work with organic decomposing matter takes\u00a0Waters\u2019 Witness<\/em>\u00a0in a new direction: an acoustic ecology that receives and perpetuates residual sounds through the audible frontiers of a world in flux. This unique soundscape extends from the Museum\u2019s central room to the Park in the shape of sound constellations, platforms and systems activated throughout the entire period of the exhibition in scheduled performances, collaborative and educational workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Things Flow (for Waters\u2019 Witness)<\/em>\u00a0is the recording of a performance held on July 3, 2022, as an activation of the exhibition\u00a0Waters\u2019 Witness<\/em>\u00a0by Tarek Atoui at Funda\u00e7\u00e3o de Serralves \u2014 Museum of Contemporary Art, Porto.
