Record of Emergence
Sirenia mercurialis vibrans
Ola Rosa

Original field impression included in the book
SIRENS – Follow the Water, Follow the Sound

This page accompanies an original field impression from Sirenian Drift: Archival Material from a Future River.

The series consists of 420 materially unique serigraphic impressions. Four hundred are included in the book edition, with twenty additional impressions completing the series.

Each image remains provisional, registering material conditions of Sirenia mercurialis vibrans, a body or phenomenon still negotiating its form.

Variations in pressure, pigment density, absorption, registration, edges, and surface traces arise through the analog printing process. Within Sirenian Drift, these variations are approached as traces of vibration, a way of thinking with the river rather than a direct recording of it.
