Guided by the Jules Verne novel “Voyage au centre de la Terre”, four friends set out to explore Snaefellsjökul Volcano in Iceland. However, as they journeyed through the country recording sounds, they found themselves having a series of profound and transformative experiences that exceeded their original expectations. The result of their trip is an immersive audio-visual narrative titled “Journey to the Center of the Sound,” which not only guides the audience through diverse Icelandic landscapes, but also invites them to embark on their own sensory journey.

After so many generational repetitions and beneath so many layers is a territory to be negotiated beyond each person’s skin, inside: the cavity that echoes the intimate and singular identity of everyone. The voice that populate this film bring us to various spaces in Matera, from tourist agglomerations to the town’s internal spaces (grottes, caves, cisterns, lanes, rooms) and the body’s own unassailable space: pleasure and desire for other bodies that no one can cancel.
