Concept
The Sound of Shadow is both an exhibition and a screening that researches into how sound affects image in the time based arts by excluding it. A group of selected artists develop and produce silent films, videos and unstable media works that invite the camera (and eyes) to stand in for the microphone (and ears). Manifestly using visual instead of auditory means, the artists concentrate on finding fresh concepts and innovative approaches to create enthralling moving images in every possible genre of the audio-visual domain. Showing the resulting works in the shape of a ‘symikony’ (meaning ‘visual symphony’) in three movements/parts with beamers set up in a silent project space, The Sound of Shadow underscores both the significance of silence and its prevailing absence in present-day time based arts.
