Mariano Torres is a musician and composer based between Mallorca and Ibiza, known for his deep connection to the soundscape of the Pityusic Islands and his close collaboration with the local artistic community. His work is marked by an intimate sensitivity to memory, territory, and musical experimentation—qualities that shape both his compositions and his creative process.

During his residency, Torres continued developing an approach grounded in attentive listening and the careful construction of sonic atmospheres. His practice was featured in the documentary series Aiguallums, produced by Filmòtica, with an entire episode dedicated to his way of conceiving and composing works such as Introducció. The portrait reveals a detail-oriented creator who brings together acoustic instruments, environmental textures, and an almost artisanal method of building sound.

Torres frequently collaborates with artists from the islands—including his brother Toni—and actively participates in projects that amplify contemporary art and creative processes in Ibiza and Formentera. His sustained presence within the local cultural landscape has established him as a key figure in the artistic fabric of the islands.

Residency: April – June 2025

Beatrice Dettori (Italy, 1976) is a designer and artist based in Eivissa. She graduated in Product Design from Chelsea College of Art and Design and, after working at Jasper Morrison’s studio, spent several years in Paris developing culinary scenographies for artists, galleries, and institutions including Pierre Soulages, Larry Clark, Pierrette Bloch, and Anish Kapoor. Since 2018, she has returned to her artistic practice through everyday objects, narratives, and clay sculpture.

During her residency, Dettori continued exploring the physical and introspective potential of material transformation, creating works that generate subtle tensions between common and recycled matter and precious or symbolically charged elements. Her practice invites close attention and sensory engagement, activating quiet contrasts that unfold through touch, weight, and presence.
