Paweł Kowzan [Poland]

“Untitled (The Hiatus)” | sound installation

venue: Na Stępce Str., near the old butchery

 

This project is based on broadening audio sphere of a chosen space with a set of especially composed sounds. It is impossible to clearly determine their nature- they can be both associated with securing the area, making renovations, demolition, but also “shifting” carried out by looters or carefree playing children. These activities naturally fit in and co- create the possible landscape of this area, but they don`t get visual confirmation- when you try to approach them, they go silent: alerted, timid, always suddenly.

Installation completed within cooperative with “może to pszczoly” with Konrad Gmurek.
