Architecture is frozen music

2020

"Architecture is frozen music" is a series of videos realized during residencies or stays that took places in different areas in the world, started in 2015 and still in process. This work focuses on isolated architecture elements that belong to modernist and post-modernist constructions.
It consists of a stop-motion video made with photographs from each place, accompanied by a sound either produced by myself or in collaboration with local sound artists.

Concerned areas (2015-2020): Ruhrgebiet (Germany), Japan, Tehran (Iran), Pardubice (Czech republic), St Petersburg (Russia), Poland, Alexandria (Egypt) .
