ROBIN RIMBAUD / HANS OP DE BEECK - VINYL STAGING SILENCE - ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK [VINYL]

Popis - STAGING SILENCE - ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK [VINYL]:
British artist Robin Rimbaud (Scanner) traverses the experimental terrain between sound and space connecting a bewilderingly diverse array of genres. Hans op de Beeck lives and works in Brussels, Belgium and creates sculpture, installations, video, photography, animated films, drawing, painting, and writing. His various works show the viewer non-existent, but identifiable places, moments and characters that appear to have been taken from everyday life. When they met at Le Fresnoy Studio National Des Arts Contemporains in 2012 the artists found an immediate creative connection,
and a year after meeting 'Staging Silence (2)' was completed. In 2019, they returned to the theme and created 'Staging Silence (3)'. Each of the films is realised through the same
principles, as two pairs of anonymous hands construct and deconstruct fictional interiors and landscapes on a mini film set of just three-square metres in size. The films take the viewer on a visual journey through depopulated, enigmatic and often melancholic, but nonetheless playful, small-scaled places, which are built up and taken down before the eye of the camera. Ranging from hyper-realistic fictional land and
cityscapes to absurd, almost surreal, dreamscapes, the various locations are connected by the sense of mystery and melancholy that pervades them. And at every moment Rimbaud's score is amplifying and illustrating these moments, from tragedy to nostalgia, witty to optimistic. Introspective and lyrical, 'Staging Silence' offers us a world of mystery and intrigue, held together by nature and time. This is a very humane work
experienced at a time when many of us feel disconnected from the world around us. The peculiar silence that permeates this hauntingly beautiful work is very much an illustration of our times, anticipating a future in the past. 'Staging Silence' is an exquisite study in dreamlike abstract ambience, a kaleidoscope of sounds and tones that engage the head and the heart.
