Synopsis
'Hidrografia Interior' is a soundscape inspired by Porto's old water supply network, with a special focus on the Mijavelhas Water Ark. The piece proposes an underground and liquid listening of the city, where recorded and synthesised sounds merge in a more or less continuous flow, evoking the hidden paths of water, its memory and invisible but latent and cutaneous presence. Presented in digital format, in a binaural experience mediated by mobile devices, 'Hidrografia Interior' invites intimate and wandering listening - as if the sound were flowing into the ear.
Biography
Francisco Pedro Oliveira (1997, Santa Maria da Feira) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work develops between folklore and sonic exploration. Attracted by different artistic languages, he explores in his works syncretistic notions of spirituality through various disciplines, articulating sound, sculpture, painting, photography and installation. In 2025, he exhibited 'Forma Primeira', his first solo show at the Galeria Municipal do Porto. In 2018, he released "On the Act Of Reminding", his first album, on his co-founded label Edições Fauve. He is part of projects such as Amuleto Apotropaico with António Feiteira, Edições Fera Felina with Diana Lucena, and the curatorial platform Branda with Carlos Milhazes.
