Rebeca Bollinger: (~) Echo (聽 )
(~) Echo ( ) is a two-part installation environment by artist Rebeca Bollinger that combines sculptural objects, architectural interventions, light refractions, and audio installations. The exhibition unfolds in two phases marked by distinct collaborations: the first with composer Gus Tomizuka, and the second with musician Patricio Coronado. Process-based, collaborative, and responsive, the installation sustains cycles of change through a series of translations across material, audio, site, light, and movement.
Both phases are anchored by arrangements and rearrangements of site-responsive sculptures by Bollinger. A series of cast bronze sculptures鈥攎ade through imprinting surfaces like bark, sand, and stone in the Agua Caliente Wash鈥攁re installed with reflective surfaces and integrated lighting. The interaction of these elements cast cinematic shadows and shifting reflections across the walls and floor of the gallery space. Over the course of the exhibition, live performances will feature guest musicians activating the sculptures as percussive and touch-sensor instruments, accompanied by traditional instruments.
In the first phase (~), a sound piece by composer Gus Tomizuka gives 鈥渧oice鈥� to the bronze sculptures: each object corresponds to a speaker that emits a unique tone created by processing recordings of that sculpture into discrete, elastic waveforms. This synchronized ensemble 鈥渟ings鈥� a generative, responsive score that translates visitors鈥� movements into evolving sonic layers, making the audience an active participant in shaping their environment.
In the second phase ( ), Bollinger鈥檚 sculptures will be reconfigured in relation to a new soundscape created by artist and musician Patricio Coronado, drawn from his fieldwork around the world and his experiments with sound underwater. Projected light and shadow will cast undulating reflections across the gallery, conjuring the ocean, night sky, and passages in time.
Through the interplay of these elements, (~) Echo ( ) creates an experimental landscape of translations, traces, impressions, reflections, and reverberations that invites visitors to experience different versions of the work over the exhibition鈥檚 duration.
