In Waterwork, artist Marjolijn Boterenbrood and percussionist Mei-Yi Lee trace the life of water: its rhythms, its power, and its continuous movement. Together, we listen closely to the murmuring, clicking, cracking, and breaking sounds of water and underwater life—from microorganisms to unseen forms of existence.
Waterwork reflects on water as both witness and active force. Through waves, currents, sounds, and subtle changes, the work follows how a site transforms over time.
Water absorbs, erodes, connects, and creates. Tuning into the voice of water becomes active listening: a way of sensing the changes of a site and uncovering the lives, histories, and possible futures embedded within it.
