Exploring the relationship between sound and matter, and revealing the artist’s multidisciplinary practice, this body of new works proposes a way of glimpsing the invisible, representing an architecture of sound, through plastic experimentation and abstract processes. The articulation of the works functions like a score, shaped by a large tinted batik and a series of waxed fabrics that
interact like notes. The artist plays with properties of materials uses transparency and opacity, softness and rigidity, to reveal a reflexion on what can orchestrate the gaze. Inspired by the circular diffusion of sound and energy in the gamelan, a traditional Indonesian percussion orchestra, and the Angklung, a musical instrument made of bamboo tubes, Amalia Laurent explores the relationship between architecture and processions, sound and space, the forms taken by reverberation on surfaces, like the propagation of a wave.
