Swiss artist Zimoun (born 1977) creates site-specific sound installations and sculptures built mainly from recycled materials drawn from everyday life and industry. Through handmade mechanical systems, he sets these materials in motion, causing them to resonate, which transforms entire spaces into breathing environments. Through scratching, scraping, knocking, vibrating, and other collisions of materials, they generate three-dimensional soundscapes. His installations draw connections not only to nature and organic phenomena but also to our throwaway society, to the systems of power that enclose us, to automated processes, industrialization, and the advancing robotization of our world. They also touch on socio-critical, philosophical, and psychological themes. His installations unfold condensed, hypnotic atmospheres, often with a psychadelic quality and strong presence, yet also with a touch of humor and irony hidden in their relentless persistence and absurdity. They might animate and activate us to reflect on ourselves and the world around us.
The exhibition is a part of Reykjavík Arts Festival.
