Mario De Vega

Huge Tip! 200 copies. Mario de Vega engages with sound as a tangible medium to exasperate perception. For over 20 years, de Vega’s work has been exhibited as large scale commissioned interventions leaning towards liminal zones of aurality, ephemeral situations -often displayed as detritus of actions, prints, materials and publications-, sculpture, performative settings, and three-dimensional formats. 

A M P H I B I A I B I H P M A (Amphibiaibomma) is a studio work composed between 2020 and 2024. A format vaguely explored in de Vega’s body of work and research. The piece  is produced by applying spectral degradation technics of sonic material archived in incidents, encounters and fragmented carols recorded in Bolivia, France, Hong Kong, Mexico and Poland, displayed as a sonic palindrome guiding us to aural situations in which our bodies listen or only believe to listen.
