ONE ON ONE
HYDROMANCY. PERSONAL WATER MEMORY ACTIVATION.
Water Revelation opens up to capture the sound vibrations of human voices, awakening the memory of water.
Voices carrying stories and messages to be whispered and chanted to the waters. A map tracing layers of lived experience, symbols, and sacred beings emerging from nature’s landscapes. Venuz White’s contemporary ritualistic hydrosonic immersive experience sheds light on the laws of nature at both scientific and metaphysical levels. Her pieces evoke an elevation of the human condition, interwoven with natural elements, harmoniously playing with the rhythms, textures, and colors that make up our Planet Earth.
BRAZIL
"Pataxó is rain water hitting the earth and the rocks and disappearing into the river and the sea."
(Kanátyo Pataxó, Txopai e Itôhâ, 1997). The Pataxó reinvented their language, The Patxohã -The language of the Pataxó Warrior
“The singing voices of Hannah, Simony and Ivani from the Pataxó community in Porto do Boi, Bahia, singing to the spirit of the Caraíva River.
“Venuz works with the vibrational qualities of sound. She receives a recording of their chants, and leaves these sounds playing on repeat next to the pure water Venuz collects from paramo rain. She then uses this water, carrying the intention and vibration of their “warrior” voices, to mix the pigments with which she creates this Water Revelation. From her hand motions she brings the subtle landscape into a totemic water guardian”.

Water is perhaps the most important element in Celtic mysticism. From it, life emerges.
The ancients Celts honored springs and wells through spiritual practices, they gravitated to water, used water imagery in their tales and treated water as sacred. While earth was like wise revered, water seems to have been understood as the vital spirit of earth.

CHILE
“I sing to connect to NGEN KO” Glacial water memory.
Paula Tassara, Pau Deplanet Is a geographer, singer-songwriter and artivist for climate, from Chile. “A Song of spiritual-experimental intercultural connection, it felt like a single breath that flowed through three languages”.
“My singing begins in my practice of yoga-meditation-mantras. The intention of my singing is to connect with NGEN KO from MAIPO and NGEN KO from CONGUILLÍO, letting myself be permeated by Mapuche spirituality, respectfully, despite not having been born Mapuche. The NGEN (owner and protector spirits in the Mapuche cosmovision) of the waters (KO)”. I thank them through my song of "Mother Cordillera".
The future presents itself as the hidden messages in water, unfolding, connecting, giving and raisin awareness to the new generations to come.

ARGENTINA
“I sing to the guides of the rain” Childhood memory .
The voice of Maimará Argentinian singer. “From my happy childhood, looking for the sky to burst to drink water with my mouth open looking up, with my eyes closed, making a wish: Let it rain! Let it Rain! Because at 4 my dad told me that if I sang, it would rain. Then I sang to the rain, happy, innocent, a lover of spells to make rain! Let it rain! Because if I sang, it rained, and if it rained, he looked for an umbrella, and with it I sang the song I had written to the rain”. “Thanks dad, for that afternoon when you taught me to use an umbrella. For all the times we drank rainwater. For listening to my song”.

Everything in the world exists through a kind of vibration and everything that vibrates in the world influences something else. Music and words are vibration. Water can record information, activating our memory.
