sound
Between January 17th and 21st, 2022, I took part in the Acoustic Interiors project in The Hague, Netherlands
The topic and medium of this project is actually an area that I have paid very little attention to and have never worked on as an independent discipline. For me, sound has always been associated with my video work and I have not treated as an independent medium until now. This was partly due to my irreparable hearing damage. However I was up to try something new and to experiment with the medium sound.
Participation in this project led me to the decision to continue working with the medium of sound, at least for a longer period of time. To experiment with it and to find out if this medium is suitable for me. In short, if I can develop further in this discipline andif it adds something new to my future work.
the healing
the Healing is a hybrid sound work. There are two versions. The first version is a pure sound work to listen to. The second version is an audiovisual work with exactly the same sound and music fragments. combined with a video. Some kind of music or sound video. Because this work keeps a strong focus on the sound and music segment.
Healing and changing is not always painless, but it can be complex and slow as well. There can also be setbacks. We might be in a stage where we long for healing and changing but also have to ask ourselves has the healing process even started or do we subconsciously not want any healing in the end. The work focus on the individual in a stage of a desired healing process apart from a group or any social environment. it’s not so much a healing of a troubled body, but the healing of my trouble mind and heart in an eventful epoch were the healing process of a mentally troubled society and troubled social environments is yet not visible.
