about
sound composed for the exhibition THE CHAIN by Simonida Rajcević, as a part of the Resonate Festival 2014.
(( EXCERPT FROM THE CURATORIAL TEXT BY Srdjan Tunić, JOURNY IN TO THE UNKNOWN, see full text at simonidasimonida.com ))
The exhibition consists of three sculptural installations that form a multimedia ambient ensemble. Three different animals - a bull, ravens and a horse - are executed in life-size by 3-D printing technique and coated in shiny black. The sculptures imitate the animal figures, albeit deviating from naturalism through stylisation and a blurring of detail, which add to the impression that they are models. Each of the animals could be associated with a story, viewed as an element unto itself or in correlation with the others...
...The last artefact is a recumbent horse on the floor of a separate room. The horse lies in a pose that is ambiguous: it could be sleeping, as horses can sleep both standing and lying down, or it could be dead. In the words of the artist herself, this work was inspired by Lars von Triers' film Melancholy, specifically the scene when John dies, as well as by numerous paintings of horses by Theodore Gericault. The whole space is enveloped in experimental ambient music written by Manja Ristić.

The cassette is totally worth it, as there are some stunning bonus tracks. Really interesting concept and a precisely executed piece of art.
