The audio-visual installation invites to enter the landscape of troubled waters, wind, rain and noise and to observe and listen to it from a distance, the action impossible in the natural circumstances when admiration is replaced with fear.
The installation is commissioned by the festival as a part of the expanded performance space and scenography programme Shared Space: Music, Weather, Politics, supported by EU programme Culture.
About Artist
Latvian artist Voldemars Johansons works with sound and information in the forms of composition and installation. His work explores perception and reality in visible and audible domains, physicality, spatiality and the nature of experience. His research interests address organic combination of acoustic information and spatial forms in creation of sonic environments and sculptures, examining the joint morphology of acoustic, visual and spatial domains. Johansons has participated in Venice Architecture Biennale, ArtGENDA, Ruhrtriennale, WAVES, music festivals TodaysArt (Hamburg), Sound Forest (Riga), Unsound (Krakow) among others.
