In this human world, the noise of their machines awakens both animals and spirits. No one sleeps. All of them cry.

Water falls from the sky filling up empty spaces on the earth. These are the sounds of a more-than-human Anthropocene, produced by water and air, people and other animals, gears and engines.

There is a fluid line that divides the flying sounds of birds from the grounded voices of humans. The border between water and forest, boat and surface, between staying or moving, being silent or vocal, is built by the layers of all those existing in its vicinity. Each border is a decision, the border itself a construction of life and beyond. Let us live in the thin dreams tropical animal's build.

Crossing the bay to enter the river, in search of the elusive manatees, humans of today navigate through ancient waterways. On the banks, the ruins echo chats, feelings, contacts, and memories between multiple beings. In a more-than-human landscape, they produce a continuous interweaving of timeless relations. Upstream, new and old artificial structures collide, agitating the waters and urging new entangled (re)actions.

Late afternoons have a different luminosity. The colour palette mixes the light and the dark. Creatures of the day rush to finish their affairs, critters of the night cheer the beginning of their actions. The wind calms down, and the sounds merge - people laughing and moving, birds noising, cars that horn and above them cicadas buzzing so loud one could think it’s sound’s statics instead of life.

Birds singing and humans chirping, making noises all around. They are the long voices and small steps running through the watery landscape. Let them go, let them walk, let them fly, let them be free. All parts of their own eco-cultural-systems, they are full members of the everlasting cosmos.

'On a tropical reef lives a lonely male manatee, the subject of legends and of tales of marine conservation. Humans navigate around him, swim around him, long rubber flips, hands, and boats roaming, noises all around. Nearby, a shark passes slowly.'
