The sound installation "Lymphatic ratio" is built around the theme of marriage, a rite recognized on a religious, legal and
social as a basis for starting a family. The artist creates a microsystem, where an audio track sets in motion a "lymphatic" system of the family and emotions that can be released to create the defenses and antibodies that protect us from external aggressions, exactly as would happen if we were equipped with the system lymphatic system of a plant.
Four audio tracks overlap, reinforce and cancel each other out, allowing the listener to distinguish the common noises of domestic life, dishes, chairs moved with the monotonous background of cicadas, small living beings that, settling in the trees, devour them the lymph.
Other background pieces of music overlap almost solemnly: a wedding piece and, finally, Mozart's Dies Irae, taken from the 1791 Requiem opera,
which indicate the beginning (nuptial function) and the end (Requiem Mass) of family life.
The sound system is a part of the larger installation: a classic white chair with roots that sink into the ground. A piece of furniture, synonymous with family around a table and which appears in the drawings hanging on the wall.
Our eyes observe the 99 species of poisonous plants, cataloged and ordered on the wall in a rigorous black and white, image of a family tree in which plant families are confused with human ones.
