IGLOO 4 | Where silence begins, Ábris Gryllus (HU), Péter Tornyai and Krisztián Kertész (HU), Lauren Tortil (FR)
The exhibition investigates the different ways of communication and how these modes are changing constantly. The three young artists all come from slightly different backgrounds (fine art, composing and media design) but recently their projects are all related to sound, noise, listening and the notion of silence. What connects them is the interest in sound as a trace or a sign, something which can be collected, organized and then being expanded, amplified again. Their interest lies in the movement of sound and how it connects to the dynamics of our everyday life. From a micro to a macro scale, the exhibition itself is a poetical investigation about the process of listening, communicating and experiments with the borders between sound and silence. Indirectly, migration and mobility becomes an important aspect of the show, with linking together personal, technical, and psychological aspects of movement itself.
Péter Tornyai and Krisztián Kertész’s sound installation investigates the present heritage of Hungarian composer Béla Bartók and his collection of folk songs, Ábris Gryllus presents an experimental audiovisual piece, where he examines the patterns and rhythm of human behavior, while Lauren Tortil’s video explores the history of a parabola in France, which was used in 1962 to capture the first trans-atlantic television signals.
