Seminar Sound as Material, HKU
Year 2, October 2018
installation | claustrofobic | contrast expectation
For this installation I attended a seminar where we focussed on different sounds and let it be the centre of the installation. For this one I asked participants to sit on a pillow on the ground in between two tables. The installation was made of a cardboard box where you could put your head in and see the film on a tablet, as two small speakers would fill the small room with sound.
With Coming Home I wanted to let the viewer experience the contrast between the ususally comfortable and nice thing about coming back home from a long day of work, and the odd feeling of entering a place you don't belong at, with unfamiliar sounds and an claustrophobic feeling.
