Sound Constructions
Sound Constructions is a collaboration between Nina C. Young, Senem Pirler, and Leilehua Lanzilotti. The site-specific work was originally created on and for the Montalvo Arts Center and has since toured as a multimedia installation and performance. Using a combination of found objects from the grounds and sound sculptures built from industrial materials, the mobile sculptures invite interplay. The installation is an exploration of these objects and presence, asking: How does taking things out of their natural environment create tension? With closeness of both the visual projections and style of amplification, are we actually closer to the objects and/or each other? As we have collected these things in order to build an environment, how do we touch them, give them focus, and ultimately let them go?
