The title of the installation refers to the term ecotone, in ecology denoting a transitional zone between two or more different neighbouring ecosystems in which organisms from neighbouring biocoenoses coexist. Typical ecotones include forest edges or riparian zones. A transition zone is also called an ecological boundary, buffer zone, border, edge or biotic transition. The progressive territorial expansion of humans has led to the creation of anthropogenic boundaries and the successive displacement of many transition zones. In this poetic installation, a simple percussion rudiment, performed by electromagnetic coils, reverberates with a distorted pulsating echo and resounds as a transmission emitted by the tin ‘speakers’, at the same time acting as a barrier to the emission.
