PERMEATION
5 wooden multiplex boards, rods, transducers
Intraregionale 2021, Kunstverein Barsinghausen
13.6. – 18.7.2021
In physics, permeation describes the process in which a
solid is traversed by a substance. The sound installation
conceived for the monastery wall in Barsinghausen is
dedicated to the phenomenon of permeability and porosity on
a sonic level. Five window niches are covered with wooden elements that are set into vibration by sound transducers. The vibrations and sounds are only perceptible when the listener comes into close proximity. The covered niches and their openings represent individual stations that can be walked through one after the other, from left to right. Short text fragments invite the visitor to change their listening focus and orientation, in order to tune into the transitions between internal and external, imaginary and bodily experience.
