The mourning collective Installation Video: 4 mins Sound: 4 speakers play different sound of 30mins 2021
The mourning collective is a collaboration project with Fabian Reijnen, Jang Kapgen, Marta Paguliuca Pelacani, Sterre Pomper. During a year, we research on how to de-centralize human, seeing other livings in an equal position and express through a work.
I made a sound part of this work on the floor. Those sound came from my imagination towards the hearing of a tree. How it sounds like to hear sounds from the different heights all at the same time? I collected sound from under soil, a dead tree root in amstelpark, a Chrismas tree in the shopping mall and a tree in front of my appartment on 4th floor. We found branches in the park and form them into a dead tree covered by textile. When you knee down next to this dead tree and put your ear close, you can hear what those other trees are hearing.
