‘Parts’ of China
20177-channel sound installation (looped)
lengths varied
In this work, the sound of breaking a piece of China - the iconic porcelain from the East - serves as the primary medium. This sound of destruction is dissected into seven distinct pieces by isolating different frequency ranges (0-0.2kHz, 0.2-4kHz, 4-5kHz, and beyond).
These fragmented sounds are reanimated through separate devices, each playing its isolated frequency range. The tracks loop perpetually, occasionally overlapping to create spontaneous harmonies and dissonances.
The fragmentation and reanimation of these sounds mirror the dispersal of cultural artifacts across territories. Each sound and device becomes a point of contemplation, reflecting the physical and cultural fragmentation of both objects and spaces.
