Video of this sound piece doesn't justifies pleasure and experience you could get from this piece in Documenta. Sound was coming from all around us just like home theatre. It was believable and you'd start closing your eyes and imagining events. Displacement of site by hearing real sound of the forest followed by sound of war then choir. It was time travel just as your mind travel in any instant from one event to the other. This is what I experienced also in 'Master and Margarita' play. In this sound piece I'm interested in transitional moment from when you believe it's war to when you believe its choir singing through your senses. In Master and Margarita you'd believe it's devil then it change to Jesus or you believe Jerusalem on stage and in a instant you are in Moscow; and you're just in fact in theater hall, and all the time travel goes on in your imagination. As soon as you believe in a time and place, the piece take you to another time and place. I think woolworths choir by Elizabeth Price had the same quality with transitions. I should write about hers separately.
This is a kind of an open studio to keep record of what I've looked at. It's also a platform to share work in process.It's open to discussion, suggestion, collaboration,...
