Selected still from the video Synthetic Strings
Synthetic Strings, 2022
For this work, I combined two recordings that at first glance have little to do with each other. Recordings are always the first step of manipulation. I go far in my edits and look for the point where something new arises. A new source.
Every recording is a broken mirror. Every mirror is a change.
When image and sound are strongly alienated, they can constantly alternate as each other's bearers of meaning.
For the sound I recorded the cellist Julia Kotarba improvising with extended techniques on her instrument.
Every touch is a cut,
every cut is a wound,
every wound is an opening.
Through the opening
you can see inside.
Seeing is healing
and healing is changing.
every cut is a wound,
every wound is an opening.
Through the opening
you can see inside.
Seeing is healing
and healing is changing.
