A pool of water, a floating loudspeaker, waves, words and sky. In-Fluence is a poetic mixed-media installation and performance that explores and visualises the impact of human activity on the environment

In-Fluence addresses the interactions between human activity and the environment, with a particular focus on water as an essential and fragile resource. The installation and performance poetically visualise how our words and actions make waves - both literally and figuratively. The work invites us to reflect on the traces we leave behind: How do we shape our environment? How are we shaping our future? Do we want to be the ones who recognise our connection with nature and act mindfully? Or those who leave unnoticed patterns whose effects only become visible later? In-Fluence makes these invisible processes tangible and reminds us that every action - be it sonic, poetic or ecological - creates resonance.
