about

TāWHIRIMāTEA
Environmental sound matter from New Zealand
The Epoché Collection - vol. 4

“Listening to sound not as the attribute of the visible but as the action of its production descends deep into the core of the visual world, reaching beyond its certain shape into a formless form that is neither object nor subject but the action of their materiality formlessly forming as liquid stickiness that grasps me too but leaves no trace. [...] Such a listening does not pursue the question of meaning, as a collective, total comprehension, but that of interpretation in the sense of a phantasmagoric, individual and contingent practice fiction.”
Salomé Voegelin – ‘Sonic Possible Worlds’ and ‘Listening to Noise and Silence’
