Plasmática Fantástia <3 combines a reading with a sound essay. The text ‘The Plasmatic Ensemble’ was written by the artist in 2022 and published as part of *In the Spaces Between* (dpr-barcelona, 2025), a publication edited by Mónica Bello and dedicated to the Arts at CERN programme.

L’Huillier’s contribution weaves together reflections and research with conversations she has had with cosmologists and theoretical physicists at CERN in Switzerland and at the ALMA and Paranal astronomical observatories in Chile’s Atacama Desert. The text begins with the quantum fluctuations spreading through the early universe and, against this backdrop, explores primordial sound waves, primal sounds and the vibrating forms of being and thought.
The reading is accompanied by ‘Plasmática Fantástica’, a sound essay that encompasses sounds from various contexts: cosmic events and electromagnetic activity within the Earth; a collective flute procession with the band La Chimuchina and friends; a hushed conversation about dark constellations, Andean cosmologies and rituals, and other secrets of the desert that remain hidden through the filter of the Vilama River; as well as textures and pulsations that attune body and mind to a timeless state of fluid intuition.
