For Condo São Paulo 2020 Madragoa present Phantom Recorder, an installation by Adrián Balseca hosted by Central Galeria.
Phantom Recorder is a collaborative project with Kara Solar, an initiative of the Latin American Association for Alternative Development in alliance with the Achuar Nationality of Ecuador. The work revolves around a device designed to collect the sounds produced by different living organisms on the banks of the Bobonaza River, in the provice of Pastaza.
Informed by post-colonialism, Balseca’s work is a symbolic inversion of the celebrated voyage in Werner Herzog’s film Fitzcarraldo (1982), where – in the depths of the Amazon jungle – the protagonist attempts to enchant the natives by playing the arias from the opera Caruso on his gramophone.
