Spectral Presences in the Magdalena River

This sculptural and sonic installation materializes ethnographic research on Colombia's feral hippos, introduced by Pablo Escobar. Their population of 189 is projected to reach 1,500 by 2040, risking the river. A transparent cube displays visuals and symbolic field

objects alongside a multi-layered sonic remix with recordings and interviews.
