DEATH BY LANDSCAPE
Sound installation: vibration speakers, glass, iron, cables, tape, sound
Variable dimensions
2023
Presented during Beyond Holidays 2023, festival of landscape and contemporary art, San Terenzo di Lerici, Italy
The artwork is a site-specific sound installation delicately integrated into the upper room of San Terenzo Castle, specifically utilizing the two mirrored windows. Through the use of vibration speakers, the glass windows diffuse sounds recorded by the artist into the space: the left speaker, placed by the window overlooking the town, reproduces the sound of an untouched and serene sea, gradually intensifying as a storm approaches; while the right speaker, facing the sea, plays the noises from San Terenzo, transitioning from a bustling, vibrant human life to emptiness during the early morning hours.
