Unfolding in three chapters, this work explores our relationship with inhabiting a city that is built on and with clay. Encompassed by original tiled architecture, handmade tiles from Amstel river clay create a host structure. They support a reader of companion texts, including excerpts from geological papers, feminist theory, literature and poetry, activated by collective reading sessions. An audio walk leading to the river enters into a space of collaborative sound through hydrophone, contact mic, field and voice recordings. Inviting the viewer to sit, breathe, read, walk, listen, with and as matter - body to body to body.
