Commissioned by BoCA, Adriana Proganó has created “Echoes of whispers, plimplim”, her first installation made for a natural, outdoor space. This work forms part of a series of collaborations between BoCA and Galerias Municipais EGEAC, consisting of installations commissioned for the space outside Galeria Quadrum, and restarting a series begun in 2017 (Musa paradisiaca, “Casa-animal”) and 2019 (Tania Bruguera, “Narciso”).

Proganó’s installation combines sculpture and sound to explore the relationship between listening and the body. Through three figurative sculptures positioned in green space, the public is invited to hear sounds emanating from unexpected places, expanding the scope of their listening to include what comes from the earth.

Winner of the EDP New Artists Award in 2021, and with a practice that spans painting, sculpture and installation, Adriana Proganó constructs an imaginary world that holds a mirror up to established norms and structures, creating characters and objects that traverse territories and proposing new forms of relating with space.
