For those still floating between waking and dreaming... on the last morning of the Biennale, Manja Ristić will set up a space for relaxation & release – a concert at dawn.

Manja’s work can be experienced as a form of “sound diary”, a place where she records landscapes and inner processes employing abstract sound narratives. She is based on the island of Korčula in the Adriatic, where she explores the different sounds “under and above the sea”. In the layered architecture of her field recordings, natural environments figure as starting points for subtle improvisations. Sound, in this context, becomes “a medium for connecting with the world, a research platform, a mirror of micro-evolution” reflecting the traces that space leaves in her soundscapes.
Manja captures the ephemeral moments in space and time, creating “an archive of disappearances and an archive of emergencies... a phantasmagorical gallery”, a place that encourages introspective listening through intertwined narratives of nature, space, and internal conditions.
