The System

(El sistema)

20142m

Overview

In the darkness of the Mamoré River, a boat moves silently through the Bolivian rainforest. Three lights cut across the water as loudspeakers break into the natural soundscape. With no human audience – only trees, animals and machines – a voice recites The System by Eduardo Galeano. Stripped of gesture and presence, the spoken word becomes an act of clandestine resistance: a sonic protest staged in uninhabited space, where nature bears witness and language confronts power from the shadows.
