Isha Bøhling’s In the orange tree is based on extensive research and an in-depth knowledge of Ibiza’s musical roots. In this proposal, she explores the island’s historical tradition and musical objects, with the collaboration of local musicians, whom she recorded to create a new sound installation. In the orange tree is a piece of music she wrote herself, inspired by traditional Ibizan music, which she presents in an orange tree.
