Talking to plants (Kew Gardens, London)

Richmond, Greater London, England, United Kingdom

A walk in the wonderful Kew Gardens listening to poems, sounds and music from archives and collections. You will find yourself immersed into a touching reality. This sound walk will make you laugh, think, reflect, forget. You will feel happy, sad, nostalgic, euphoric. Well known artists or unknown performers will accompany you in a journey through the garden echoes of voices taken from the past and present. Concept and idea by sound artist Giovanna Iorio. The images are Voice Portraits, spectrograms of voices by Giovanna Iorio This is a Creative Commons project and it's a free project with the purpose to share culture and knowledge.
