Exhibition & performance, 26 January – 3 March 2019
In ICEmeltings, we immerse ourselves in the listening experience of a remote, lonely winter landscape and crystalline water structures. Through this sonic imagination, the artists convey experiences of transposed realities and hybrid conditions of ice meltings from near and far. The artists explore the acoustics of icy winter landscapes, capturing their gradual or sudden transformations. Using a sound score, they perform a composition that blends intimacy with the seclusion of the winter landscape. While this space may initially evoke silence, enhancing sensory perception, it is actually rich with the echoes of a disappearing world. Sounds pierce the quiet, particularly when natural phenomena, such as sudden temperature changes, result in the thickening or breaking of ice. These specific sounds raise numerous questions regarding the atmosphere, climate change, ecology, and sound ecology, thereby stimulating the listener’s ecological sensitivity through composition.
