A DAY IN RIJEKA, sound installation, 00:04:45, 2016

A Day in Rijeka is a sound installation that deals with the perceptive definition of sound.

The sound is all around us. When you hear the term "video work" you probably expect a visual image that is provided by the author. However, what if there is no image? What if the video only consists of text and sound? 

 

The word "sound" can be used in two different ways - as the physical definition of pressure change in the air or another medium and as the perceptive definition of sound as an experience that we have when we hear. Recognition and activity are two important steps for the perception of sound. Perception is people's ability to place objects in certain categories, which provides meaning, and knowledge and experience introduce the observer to a situation. The artist is interested in the listener's experience. The goal is to relax the participant with the text so he is able to "travel" to another city and to create visual images only through sound. 

 

The participants have the chance to create mental images of the things they hear based on their knowledge and experience. In this way, they are becoming part of the work.
