Sounds of Sea, Heart and Sun February 6 – March 6, 2018 Contempoaray Space, Varna
The solo exhibition by Svetlana Mircheva Sounds from Sea, Heart and Sun, in Contemporary Space, Varna, shows three installations - Sound Landscape, Parallel Sounds and Sounds from Sea, Heart and Sun, in which the composer is Angel Simitchiev.
Gathered in one place, the three works sound and surround the space, reflecting each other's parallel existence, in which an object, image, light and sound meet, bend, throw back, reverberate and reach us.
What does a sound look like? There arises the idea that the sound may take shape, be translated into the language of images, and speak back to us. What sound can shake me up? There comes the thought of the emotion of sound, I think of a sound that can send imagination far away, carry it away, dissolve it. Can form be translated into music? Simple shapes can create rhythm, pulsation, and bright colors –give a sensation of tone. And where else would sound form be located, if not in the air? In the three works, there is a continuous flow of transition and crossing of the fields of sound and visual, passing through the imaginary. The sound is rendered into an object and reflects back in music; it flashes in the air like a light kinetic sculpture, but it can also be heard. And maybe there, between the two worlds of sound and image, is the place of the elusive? Svetlana Mircheva |
