this_location: sound installation with moving image

this_location is a sound installation with video projection; the work addresses issues of dislocation from the perspective of urban constellation; this is approached by means of environmental sounds and images retrieved from a number of city landscapes, juxtaposed over spatial interaction, disorienting memory and immediate auditory experience, where moving image projected at the installation space intends to accentuate augmented listening.

The work has been produced in the occasion of Shunyasthan, a cross media art workshop and open studio at Studio 21, CIMA (Centre for International Modern Art), Kolkata.

'audible absence' sound installation at 'In Other Words' exhibit

"audible absence" is a site-specific acoustic space, created from recordings of speech, breathing and poetry-readings of my father who passed away three years ago. The work intends to juxtapose personal with public, in an attempt to investigate auditory memory and transcendence.

Eye contact with the city: sound installation with moving image

‘Eye contact with the city’ is a sound installation with video projection, produced in the occasion of  Bengaluru Artist Residency 2010, supported by India Foundation for the Arts.

The installation is an investigation in slowness in the context of the urban environment of Bangalore, and based on gathered audiovisual experiences in the three months of residency. These experiences are largely dominated by imagery of growth in the city while auditory perception is intruded by constant sound events from urban infrastructural development within an anticipation of indolence quite typical of Bangalore. 

Slowness is an attitude that involves a keen sense of time and history; found sounds that have been retrieved from the collected used-tapes at flea market and from personal archives, provide with an insight into the auditory memory of the city and samples of sonic layer for the work; the close slow-motion video projected within the installation space has been a methodology to accentuate listening by means of audiovisual augmentation and media convergence.

The work has received an Honorary Mention in the Digital Music/Sound Art category of PRIX Ars Electronica 2011 and has been released with Touch Music as an .m4v video for iPhone/iPod/iPad.

San Lorenzo: sound installation at Palazzo Medici Riccardi, Florence

San Lorenzo is a collaborative inter-media project with Fondazione Studio Marangoni, Florence, for installation with still images and sound composition. The Project is about the personalized ways to intervene, mediate and represent the busiest urban area ‘San Lorenzo’ in downtown Florence, which holds a rich multilayered audiovisual ambience. The images have been looped on a number of video‐screens, and the sound composition reproduces the essential locative atmosphere in a multi‐speaker set up within the installation space. 


The installation was held for a month at Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence, May 2008.
