Scratched Surfaces

Scratched Surfaces is a performative sound installation that reimagines the bandoneon from the inside out. Instead of melody and rhythm, it listens to air leaks, frictions, and hesitant breaths — the fragile sounds that usually remain erased. Through a multichannel setup, video projection, and objects of practice, the work invites the audience to enter an intimate landscape where sound and silence coexist.

Visitors wander, linger, breathe with the sounds.

There is no clear beginning or end — only traces of presence, gestures suspended between silence and resonance.

This work forms part of Mercedes Krapovickas Lilja’s ongoing doctoral research Bandoneon Resonances, which redefines the instrument as an ecology of relations between body, movement, and space.

Here, the question is simple yet open: What remains after the sound has passed?
