De.Composition

De.composition developed within the framework of a collaboration between the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen and the Frank Mohr Institute. The paradigms of artistic research are investigated using a practical approach, which took the shape of an installation on the notion of time. The work consists of two parts: a photographic archive of the process of research itself, which shows the different experiments and reflections that formed it and the final elaboration on the concept of fungal time. De.composition presents a 'meeting with time' by displaying a growing mould on a pedestal. A camera detects changes in the mould and these are subsequently translated into sound in real time. The moulding process creates a soundscape with ongoing sonic modulations, which travels through space as spores would do. The mould is displayed to let visitors experience their inability to see changes while actually hearing them.
