Dead zones.

Knurl/cello, voice, violin and electronics.

The project "Dead Zones", by visual artist Suzette Bousema and musician Rafaele Andrade, focusses on addressing the critical issue of dead zones in coastal areas. Through a live music performance they explore the environmental impact of micro-algae blooms fueled by agricultural fertilizers, livestock manure, and sewage overflows. Their aim is to elevate awareness about the nitrogen and climate crisis resulting from human activities.

Within the performance, Bousema and Andrade guide their audience on a metaphoric diving session in one of the Netherland’s dead zone areas, located in Veerse Meer, Zeeland. 

Winner of open call “Waterwende”.
