In nature waste does not existe, let the words fragment, decay, and nourish what has not yet germinated.&nbsp;From this, my investigation understood language as organic matter, one that must decay and nourish what has not yet germinated. My methodological research emerges from composting as a process of artistic creation, grounded in the understanding that for something to decompose, it must first be porous. Leading me to navigate my my work as a territory that fractures, ferments, decays and reorganizes into new forms of intimacy. &nbsp; Since 2023 porosity became both a methodology to remain permeable to relational entanglements, cultivating forms of knowledge that are both situated and sensitive. A way to challenging dominant modes of knowledge production within the Anthropocene, a method for softening the boundaries between bodies, languages, technologies, and the territories we cross. Today A Practice of Porosity represents a living investigation that allows me to inhabit decomposition and sustain sensitivity within contexts of accelerated change and deep erosion. The following are a selection of projects that have embodied this process: https://magohart.com/The-Softest-Hard Wed, 03 Jun 2026 15:04:19 +0000 Magdalena Hart | Rain and Rivers | Glass Jewelry https://magohart.com/The-Softest-Hard <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7baf9889f45bbbd87d636e3e26af760e09469e9c39c3e3fe5ed5f52d2795216d/MagdalenaHart_Proximity01.jpg" data-mid="249232874" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7baf9889f45bbbd87d636e3e26af760e09469e9c39c3e3fe5ed5f52d2795216d/MagdalenaHart_Proximity01.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5049a53882fe302d44a4a23bc735d54b78b6523656e5c19a14b9a4e06115a34d/MagdalenaHart_Proximity02.jpg" data-mid="249232921" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5049a53882fe302d44a4a23bc735d54b78b6523656e5c19a14b9a4e06115a34d/MagdalenaHart_Proximity02.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/afa1de355cbc3012495f12d62cb9f6e370ac6b0bac79297aa6aa788b109b5774/TheSoftestHard_01.jpg" data-mid="249766584" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/afa1de355cbc3012495f12d62cb9f6e370ac6b0bac79297aa6aa788b109b5774/TheSoftestHard_01.jpg" /> <img width="3712" height="5568" width_o="3712" height_o="5568" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/915fb4bdc8957b60385899e883c75c5bc4c108394d42c51d6cce4c87d6693c69/the-softest-hard_magohart_N4TS0.1-14.jpg" data-mid="250076002" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/915fb4bdc8957b60385899e883c75c5bc4c108394d42c51d6cce4c87d6693c69/the-softest-hard_magohart_N4TS0.1-14.jpg" /> <img width="3712" height="5568" width_o="3712" height_o="5568" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c222b99b9faeec9b1d3341e70a95ed5863dbd076f6fd776d8d19b96fa1dcacfd/the-softest-hard_magohart_N4TS0.1-22.jpg" data-mid="250076003" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c222b99b9faeec9b1d3341e70a95ed5863dbd076f6fd776d8d19b96fa1dcacfd/the-softest-hard_magohart_N4TS0.1-22.jpg" /> <img width="3712" height="5568" width_o="3712" height_o="5568" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9bd0dff26230c7dde336a255dede8f6f1ee21f3f754eff4474203f35e847162d/the-softest-hard_magohart_N4TS0.1-43.jpg" data-mid="250076004" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9bd0dff26230c7dde336a255dede8f6f1ee21f3f754eff4474203f35e847162d/the-softest-hard_magohart_N4TS0.1-43.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc296568402473830d8c412c89339013e937843fbc6d164c5e3a044b33f25a2b/IMG_0364.JPG" data-mid="249766808" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc296568402473830d8c412c89339013e937843fbc6d164c5e3a044b33f25a2b/IMG_0364.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5b7c1cf1df38030d0341d87d0f5db273ebf9301aee17707008fe307c6c2d1544/TheSoftestHard_03.jpg" data-mid="249766772" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5b7c1cf1df38030d0341d87d0f5db273ebf9301aee17707008fe307c6c2d1544/TheSoftestHard_03.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/56e7f822070af16d5bb4cad04ec987b6879cfe0a3d742a4523b0178c69eb80af/TheSoftestHard_02.jpg" data-mid="249766631" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/56e7f822070af16d5bb4cad04ec987b6879cfe0a3d742a4523b0178c69eb80af/TheSoftestHard_02.jpg" /> <img width="3712" height="5568" width_o="3712" height_o="5568" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bdd6b897014d3489f33290019112e63cee22fc0b6ccca1fddbfedf20eabf55e0/the-softest-hard_magohart_N4TS0.1-27.jpg" data-mid="250076008" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bdd6b897014d3489f33290019112e63cee22fc0b6ccca1fddbfedf20eabf55e0/the-softest-hard_magohart_N4TS0.1-27.jpg" /> <img width="3712" height="5568" width_o="3712" height_o="5568" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9c93902e7fb872e2389c862fc20b3325bc7df32859f1430b3ef9db0b943bf516/the-softest-hard_magohart_N4TS0.1-35.jpg" data-mid="250076005" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9c93902e7fb872e2389c862fc20b3325bc7df32859f1430b3ef9db0b943bf516/the-softest-hard_magohart_N4TS0.1-35.jpg" /> <img width="3712" height="5568" width_o="3712" height_o="5568" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a2b80e0e56ebba62a25dd517fbb730e67e1c0d2156743065c6e8d63c9480006f/the-softest-hard_magohart_N4TS0.1-28.jpg" data-mid="250076007" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a2b80e0e56ebba62a25dd517fbb730e67e1c0d2156743065c6e8d63c9480006f/the-softest-hard_magohart_N4TS0.1-28.jpg" /> The Softest Hard, (A Practice of Porosity, Hangar) Methodology: Allow proximity to rearrange matter&nbsp; A Practice of Porosity is a living research project that holds space for what is left behind. There is a gentleness in decay, an intelligence that inhabits things as they open towards their own undoing. 2026: Residency Hangar Barcelona, ES 2026: Art Nou, Tandem x Casa RARO, Barcelona, ES The Softest Hard presents a series of objects that accumulate gestures of failure and fragility during my residency at Hangar, Barcelona. It questions the political community that invests more energy in reinforcing borders than in expanding rights. Materially, the pieces are constructed from blown glass and the reconstruction of found objects, with multispecies collaborations and low-tech languages.&nbsp; Through alliances with people, materials, and tools in contexts of proximity, I have allowed remnants and relationships to ferment and reorganize into new forms of intimacy. As part of this research, I commuted the same route every day for three months, observing the places where waste accumulates and documenting both the materials that circulate and those that remain. By placing my attention on materials that, despite being discarded or deemed undesirable, I noticed their permanence within the city. What began as a poetic gesture within my practice gradually revealed broader logics of extraction, excess, and disposal, as well as recycling systems sustained by marginalized and invisible bodies and forms of labor. At €0.20 per kilogram of iron and €1 per kilogram of aluminum, the prices expose circuits of exploitation and displaced ecological violence. During this period, I shared a staircase with a space occupied by recyclers, who dismantle found objects daily under precarious conditions. The proximity between their gestures and my own practice generated a productive tension around the material conditions and privileges from which my work operates. Over time, this tension evolved into forms of exchange and reciprocity through the circulation of tools, materials, and care. Some of the recyclers began setting aside fragments for me, while I gathered leftover materials from my walks and from other Hangar residents to contribute to their recycling processes. These relationships became an active part of my methodology of porosity, cultivating more situated and attentive ways of making. The sculptures that emerged embody tangled, often invisible anatomies, assembled from the materials accumulated through these exchanges. This research unfolds within a broader political context in which the European Parliament has definitively approved the “Return Regulation,” a migration framework that undermines fundamental human rights. The Softest Hard turns attention toward those who sustain the metabolism of a system that simultaneously excludes them, opening a dialogue about the future of bodies and forms of labor that have already been rendered invisible, while questioning political communities that, rather than expanding rights, reinforce borders.&nbsp; https://magohart.com/Follow-the-same-route-every-day-observe-the-places-where-waste Wed, 03 Jun 2026 15:20:55 +0000 Magdalena Hart | Rain and Rivers | Glass Jewelry https://magohart.com/Follow-the-same-route-every-day-observe-the-places-where-waste <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e57d02be00e416564e4ab30a82ae5928703b0b6963e9dc592057acee7206d83/IMG_8011____.jpg" data-mid="249073446" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e57d02be00e416564e4ab30a82ae5928703b0b6963e9dc592057acee7206d83/IMG_8011____.jpg" /> Methodology: Follow the same route every day, observe the places where waste accumulates, observe what remains, what circulates.

There is a gentleness in decay, an intelligence that inhabits things as they open towards their own undoing. 2026: Residency Hangar Barcelona, ES 2026: Maker Sherpa, Convent de Sant Augustí, Barcelona, ES This series of sculptural objects emerges from a daily practice of walking, collecting, and attending to what persists. During my residency at Hangar, I followed the same route each day, gathering discarded materials encountered along the commute. An exercise in seeing what is left behind, too broken, too useless or too little economic value that become permanent. Through repetition, the act of collecting became a method for observing patterns of circulation, abandonment, and permanence within the urban landscape. https://magohart.com/Manglar Sun, 04 Aug 2024 10:11:11 +0000 Magdalena Hart | Rain and Rivers | Glass Jewelry https://magohart.com/Manglar <img width="713" height="858" width_o="713" height_o="858" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b87c60e6ea6e357aa47452d311d58b52e1c4226f7e87b64337138d96db31bc5b/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-12-01-172501.jpg" data-mid="222701011" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/713/i/b87c60e6ea6e357aa47452d311d58b52e1c4226f7e87b64337138d96db31bc5b/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-12-01-172501.jpg" /> <img width="900" height="550" width_o="900" height_o="550" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f6d928c16a941c85d6e3b8f46a46368aaabd74f0049c5bd3537720bc7a673133/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-08-04-122251.jpg" data-mid="215779760" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/900/i/f6d928c16a941c85d6e3b8f46a46368aaabd74f0049c5bd3537720bc7a673133/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-08-04-122251.jpg" /> <img width="898" height="595" width_o="898" height_o="595" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/54b859392814e714e7fc6d1be571c2157107daaa38eb1f45526a62a5228a8e77/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-08-04-122235.jpg" data-mid="215779761" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/898/i/54b859392814e714e7fc6d1be571c2157107daaa38eb1f45526a62a5228a8e77/Captura-de-pantalla-2024-08-04-122235.jpg" /> <img width="1280" height="854" width_o="1280" height_o="854" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3c73f63449c49d30434c8786d6d38500e3611b992584a9f9866acfa566d5356c/image000071.jpeg" data-mid="222385787" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3c73f63449c49d30434c8786d6d38500e3611b992584a9f9866acfa566d5356c/image000071.jpeg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e37121ec2704aedb25dcf71fa5e97e1d3c9043e766ddb3249e79da79f73347cf/image00002.jpeg" data-mid="222385789" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e37121ec2704aedb25dcf71fa5e97e1d3c9043e766ddb3249e79da79f73347cf/image00002.jpeg" /> Manglar ( 2024 ) Mangrove (translated from Spanish as "Manglar"), scent, tangle, soil, crossroads. The mangrove serves as the transition zone between marine and terrestrial biomes, a meeting point where the forms and sensitivities of water and earth converge. It breathes with the tides, filling and emptying daily, and maintains a delicate balance. Marine animals come here daily to mate, lay eggs, care for their young, and bask in its warmth and libidinal energy. Manglar is a transdisciplinary collective initiative by a group of 7 individuals based in Barcelona, with members from Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Catalonia, who came together during the Humedal residency at Wetlab in 2023. These encounters harmonized into a shared agenda, evolving into an experimental project. We propose a cycle of high libidinal energy within the group, aiming to create a space for exchanging practices centered on situated sciences, while intensively engaging with Wetlab. Our approach involves experiencing a set of practices suggested by the group, framed through the lens of "situated sciences." These practices seek to connect with and enchant different worlds, emphasizing the de-universalization of scientific gestures. This entails: first, incorporating the scientist's body as both position and place; second, recognizing and developing methods to engage with more-than-human positions within experimental networks; and third, exploring the relationship between fiction, performativity, and science. The project's structure begins with radical contamination, blending organisms, cultures, and dirt, and concludes with decontamination, separation, and space cleaning, mirroring a tidal cycle of highs and lows. Our practices include: Cultures (bacteria, fungi, plants, and symbiotic situations), Multispecies Oracles, Therolinguistic Sciences Committee, Situated Tools, Metamorphosis of Matter, Pause and Rest, and Consortium for Decontamination and/or Sterilization. Our aim is to explore ecologies of practice grounded in play, pleasure, and experimentation, fostering intimacies between species and challenging scientific conventions. We aim to explore situated science by weaving experiences, tools, and methodologies that question universal ideals in natural knowledge. We seek to develop research strategies where problems and questions emerge from close dialogues with non-human organisms, decentralizing inquiry and broadening discovery horizons to enhance our capacity to listen to these organisms. https://magohart.com/Accion-y-Destino Sat, 14 Mar 2026 23:30:49 +0000 Magdalena Hart | Rain and Rivers | Glass Jewelry https://magohart.com/Accion-y-Destino <img width="828" height="1456" width_o="828" height_o="1456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d66eb6163217e217cd36d8601d041425547129df47fe6154daa327d8dc8e9e76/IMG_6793.jpg" data-mid="246046576" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/828/i/d66eb6163217e217cd36d8601d041425547129df47fe6154daa327d8dc8e9e76/IMG_6793.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6ff7e5ac6c38ca7716b733e42546f714e69f2d4adafefbf231cd320375d997e9/IMG_6315-1.JPG" data-mid="246046577" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6ff7e5ac6c38ca7716b733e42546f714e69f2d4adafefbf231cd320375d997e9/IMG_6315-1.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9dca9c62d287b6a9beefc06d289f911aa732713b7f0fe5aa7649b4ed4c36164f/IMG_5763.JPG" data-mid="246046580" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9dca9c62d287b6a9beefc06d289f911aa732713b7f0fe5aa7649b4ed4c36164f/IMG_5763.JPG" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0c2e8e04008a378ea3815cf3cc9d3de6a9f6557d87746f0e481408ad7b288899/IMG_6614.JPG" data-mid="246046647" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0c2e8e04008a378ea3815cf3cc9d3de6a9f6557d87746f0e481408ad7b288899/IMG_6614.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8c960f4b22fb90fac45bdfbb3c219c38d5a928fed1f50c987133e5f62119fb36/IMG_6570.JPG" data-mid="246046648" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8c960f4b22fb90fac45bdfbb3c219c38d5a928fed1f50c987133e5f62119fb36/IMG_6570.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5834be4339663b85273d30b820484428022caad563ed78cf00f33eb0b20f9cf0/IMG_6611-1.JPG" data-mid="246046579" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5834be4339663b85273d30b820484428022caad563ed78cf00f33eb0b20f9cf0/IMG_6611-1.JPG" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cb6c98b422dd1f60743555a1d267db929d2cf702a255050214cb777ca12c645b/IMG_6758-1.JPG" data-mid="246046646" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cb6c98b422dd1f60743555a1d267db929d2cf702a255050214cb777ca12c645b/IMG_6758-1.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4fbabbb80a2e4d688fd0d35c9b56cbe6fcd35300233bb734cd8321cf7b1d1539/IMG_6589.JPG" data-mid="246046578" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4fbabbb80a2e4d688fd0d35c9b56cbe6fcd35300233bb734cd8321cf7b1d1539/IMG_6589.JPG" /> <img width="1885" height="2956" width_o="1885" height_o="2956" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b906f632a3cb06efe204fe39b8a4522f461d5892df2ff24ffb306225992cf59d/IMG_6730.JPG" data-mid="246046575" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b906f632a3cb06efe204fe39b8a4522f461d5892df2ff24ffb306225992cf59d/IMG_6730.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1fb16c795e8848fc54000b68eb8f7c62db9931d8a74c99326b6b390d1f4b60a9/lampara01.jpg" data-mid="246046651" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1fb16c795e8848fc54000b68eb8f7c62db9931d8a74c99326b6b390d1f4b60a9/lampara01.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f5e7529db7799fefe55d06f5f25c2608988612edbe08cfe3c400507e4680a912/IMG_6612.JPG" data-mid="246046574" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f5e7529db7799fefe55d06f5f25c2608988612edbe08cfe3c400507e4680a912/IMG_6612.JPG" /> Acción y Destino ( 2026 ) Acción y Destino is a lighting choreography created in collaboration with creative studio próximo, as a reinterpretation of the performance developed by Dania and Rupert Clerveaux, &nbsp; &nbsp; 2025: Mostra Festival, Barcelona, ES The fragile trace of destiny, was the narrative&nbsp;I was invited to accompany through a series of motorized sculptures and experimental lamps. From this, alongside Próxima, we choreographed a lighting and motor performance. In alignment with my current practice of porosity, the slow companionship between movement and erosion was where I centered the series- how objects continue to act even as they wear down, how a gesture can persist through small mechanical repetitions. Lamps that hesitate before glowing, motors that stutter and continue, artifacts that seem to breathe through their own fragility. The gentleness of failure, the subtle intelligence carried by things, in the process of undoing themselves. The pieces were created using found materials / residues, glass, motors, flowers, cables and leds. <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1fb16c795e8848fc54000b68eb8f7c62db9931d8a74c99326b6b390d1f4b60a9/lampara01.jpg" data-mid="246046651" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1fb16c795e8848fc54000b68eb8f7c62db9931d8a74c99326b6b390d1f4b60a9/lampara01.jpg" /> The performance reads as follows “The piece is a reinterpretation of Verdi´s La forza del destino, an opera said to be cursed since it first premiered more than 150 years ago. Combining desintegrated string samples and weighty drones with Clervaux´s thudding drums and Dania´s celestial vocals, Acción y Destino is both delicate and epic, and forges a crawling impressionistic narrative through the choreography of repetition and ecstatic exploration of the duo´s respective lead instruments.” https://magohart.com/Allow-Air-to-Open-Space Fri, 30 May 2025 14:06:35 +0000 Magdalena Hart | Rain and Rivers | Glass Jewelry https://magohart.com/Allow-Air-to-Open-Space <img width="1080" height="1920" width_o="1080" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f59f389227205df643372dd7ff907fbe86ac76904efd40bc7630c688db92249/flowerflwoer.jpg" data-mid="240017618" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9f59f389227205df643372dd7ff907fbe86ac76904efd40bc7630c688db92249/flowerflwoer.jpg" /> <img width="1080" height="1920" width_o="1080" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b374c3503a46ac6f11f166c5a52b1fbce9994f614ff2501279437574f55017f0/flowerflwoer_.jpg" data-mid="240017617" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b374c3503a46ac6f11f166c5a52b1fbce9994f614ff2501279437574f55017f0/flowerflwoer_.jpg" /> <img width="3508" height="4961" width_o="3508" height_o="4961" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1491f6450377f0831c50fc986d3f7657ebd53423e24719c49c9e059073530436/Flor01.jpg" data-mid="237808457" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1491f6450377f0831c50fc986d3f7657ebd53423e24719c49c9e059073530436/Flor01.jpg" /> Methodology: Allow Air to Open Space (A Practice of Porosity, Il.lacions Gallery) A Practice of Porosity is a living research project that holds space for what is left behind.

A series of narrative stories and speculations that play with the concept of resurrection by fire.2025: (Not presented) Comissioned by Sonar Festival, Barcelona, ES2025: Mira Festival, Barcelona, ES This performance is the first of a series of a yearly collaboration and evolving research project, curated by Ikram Bouloum,&nbsp; in which together we explore storytelling experiences. This project emerges from an intimate need to revisit what is kept, what is archived, and what is buried. It responds to the existing, as well as our own internal climate crisis´ through the poetics of decomposition, involving more-than-human perspectives and expanded material vocabularies. Over these past three months we have been sharing our practices, methodologies and knowledge systems, as well as personal stories and intimacies. From these biweekly dialogues, Alice Sparkly Kat has written around the theme of regeneration: a piece on migration, a silly horror story about a snake, a fable about skin, and a forecast for 2025 year of the Wood Snake. Whilst Akyute has been working on the audiovisual and audiorreactive narrative, in collaboration with sound artists&nbsp;Bamba and Opoku. Together we have been assembling the performance, as well constructing an editorial format to create a piece that metabolizes past and co-imaginaries, rooted in intimacy, decay, and collective regeneration. The performance has a duration of 45 minutes and consists of live reading accompanied by live A/V. https://magohart.com/Skin-Scent-I-II Wed, 29 Oct 2025 12:41:13 +0000 Magdalena Hart | Rain and Rivers | Glass Jewelry https://magohart.com/Skin-Scent-I-II <img width="6344" height="4230" width_o="6344" height_o="4230" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f0a814ce5227eaa66e5b83c0a88a1a62c36ed9be6521d7e42cf0655c9fb8fdf7/3_DSC0230-1.jpg" data-mid="240807183" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f0a814ce5227eaa66e5b83c0a88a1a62c36ed9be6521d7e42cf0655c9fb8fdf7/3_DSC0230-1.jpg" /> <img width="3384" height="4232" width_o="3384" height_o="4232" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9146ec6cdec0d6059349bb81a6d9491bfdc896c3ac2aced7f87fc0d06d4cc532/SkinScent-I-II_MacroCloseUpII.jpg" data-mid="240807182" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9146ec6cdec0d6059349bb81a6d9491bfdc896c3ac2aced7f87fc0d06d4cc532/SkinScent-I-II_MacroCloseUpII.jpg" /> <img width="2935" height="3668" width_o="2935" height_o="3668" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/604f58920b4a9dfa87ac28c6ad8e6fd05f2eec7bb1d6cb0749ff68e345f27257/4c_DSC0170-1.jpg" data-mid="240807180" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/604f58920b4a9dfa87ac28c6ad8e6fd05f2eec7bb1d6cb0749ff68e345f27257/4c_DSC0170-1.jpg" /> Skin Scent I-II ( 2025 ) Skin Scent I-II, is a wearable sculpture holding two perfume compartments with distinct yet layering skin scents. This piece is a collaboration with Ludmila Furman. This collaboration was initiated as a reflection on shedding, developed in connection to this year 2025: the yin wood snake. Activated by body heat and the oil base of the structure, the scents unfold gradually as an extension of the skin. The piece was designed around release and intimacy. &nbsp; Scent I carries earthy tones of vetiver, moss, and mineral notes, deepened by labdanum, myrrh, and incense, whilst Scent II introduces a lighter, floral layer built around frangipani, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and green tea, supported by musky and woody notes. The piece is a 1/1 edition, and was forged by hand in Barcelona using handblown borosilicate glass and stainless steel. Each compartment is a refillable bottle. https://magohart.com/Listen-with-the-soles-of-your-feet Wed, 29 Oct 2025 12:53:32 +0000 Magdalena Hart | Rain and Rivers | Glass Jewelry https://magohart.com/Listen-with-the-soles-of-your-feet <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/100984794ebc4715884901effea335dd2600b574f51e0f30f4e0e1decb663025/IMG_9476.JPG" data-mid="240019589" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/100984794ebc4715884901effea335dd2600b574f51e0f30f4e0e1decb663025/IMG_9476.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f92a8b61ac77c5a446366fa595df4ee1f65614cf8ff67d90ef625eedc4e513c/IMG_9455.JPG" data-mid="240019587" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f92a8b61ac77c5a446366fa595df4ee1f65614cf8ff67d90ef625eedc4e513c/IMG_9455.JPG" /> <img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/242268c5fc83f7d7c65d7ee31d9dd98141052092ca86653a88408ed8566b9de7/cbffee85-d71f-4396-affe-41175d9fbcea.JPG" data-mid="240019586" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/242268c5fc83f7d7c65d7ee31d9dd98141052092ca86653a88408ed8566b9de7/cbffee85-d71f-4396-affe-41175d9fbcea.JPG" /> <img width="2048" height="1366" width_o="2048" height_o="1366" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d1dd2c1a6f5a4c7b49ec66e1ac33c56743bd1c6b3acf5eb5855e423a5e0e4b0/2025_TURBINA_LR_01_leafhopperproject-085.jpg" data-mid="240023184" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4d1dd2c1a6f5a4c7b49ec66e1ac33c56743bd1c6b3acf5eb5855e423a5e0e4b0/2025_TURBINA_LR_01_leafhopperproject-085.jpg" /> <img width="1366" height="2048" width_o="1366" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7c93ee43c9175bc3ed51b21fe7f7c446e3b2b0358be43b8bef8d54d96dd0027d/2025_TURBINA_LR_01_leafhopperproject-088.jpg" data-mid="240023101" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7c93ee43c9175bc3ed51b21fe7f7c446e3b2b0358be43b8bef8d54d96dd0027d/2025_TURBINA_LR_01_leafhopperproject-088.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ec7938651f95bea94f6af98d49ee9e7de96921245eee0c90296a986723e16f14/IMG_9495.JPG" data-mid="240019585" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ec7938651f95bea94f6af98d49ee9e7de96921245eee0c90296a986723e16f14/IMG_9495.JPG" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6211e219f4ab102b6bfb0749d7dc3b278a59ae3db7730ed6f3430622594d4d69/2025_TURBINA_LR_01_leafhopperproject-089.jpg" data-mid="240023031" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6211e219f4ab102b6bfb0749d7dc3b278a59ae3db7730ed6f3430622594d4d69/2025_TURBINA_LR_01_leafhopperproject-089.jpg" /> <img width="1366" height="2048" width_o="1366" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8046cd336d225688c4f8a723626fa26ec69c9c29070440c34a5ffc2b536d3dd/2025_TURBINA_LR_01_leafhopperproject-090.jpg" data-mid="240022935" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8046cd336d225688c4f8a723626fa26ec69c9c29070440c34a5ffc2b536d3dd/2025_TURBINA_LR_01_leafhopperproject-090.jpg" /> <img width="1366" height="2048" width_o="1366" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dcd1eaaa04fccfff295b81002f489f912b58b3d406d4da90082fa698cffd1aaa/2025_TURBINA_LR_01_leafhopperproject-091.jpg" data-mid="240022884" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dcd1eaaa04fccfff295b81002f489f912b58b3d406d4da90082fa698cffd1aaa/2025_TURBINA_LR_01_leafhopperproject-091.jpg" /> <img width="1366" height="2048" width_o="1366" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ae862dd5593a54c56266660a3c88826464215bef4644a3f13467750aa2e78f6d/2025_TURBINA_LR_01_leafhopperproject-10.jpg" data-mid="240023288" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ae862dd5593a54c56266660a3c88826464215bef4644a3f13467750aa2e78f6d/2025_TURBINA_LR_01_leafhopperproject-10.jpg" /> Methodology: Listen with the soles of your feet (Una Práctica de Porosidad, Turbina - Mira Festival, 2025) A Practice of Porosity is a living research project that holds space for what is left behind. There is a gentleness in decay, an intelligence that inhabits things as they open towards their own undoing. 2025: Turbina Festival, Mira Festival, Barcelona, ES. This installation was a site-specific revisitation with contact mics that sonorize the motors and objects connected to the sculptures. For this piece we worked with the “residues” of our previous installations with Akyute. Inspired by Pauline Oliveros ‘Deep listening meditations’ investigation: “Take a walk at night, and walk so silently that the bottoms of your feet become ears”. See video here
