Two dozen students have been individually recorded making an improvisation in which they imitate the sounds of nature or creates a hypothetical soundscape, based on the silence and using it as a gesture bridge. These improvisations invite us to reflect about the communication beyond the spoken language. The eyes of the participants have been covered so they can concentrate on the sound they produce, and also having no visual distractions. Adjacently, this aesthetic alludes to the deprivation of liberty, one of the most serious problems of social and political nature in Mexico, as well as being a metaphor for constant communication limitation in our societies.
