​

On traces of rhythm is an audio-visual installation combining sculpture, light and sound.
The space embodies the act of creation as a route to becoming present, breaking down the perceptive experience into its essential elements. The sculptural parts are designed with this very fabric of presence: each piece formed almost immediately from patterns of the body, the material and the tools used. Each sculpture presents a system of vague alphabetic form, creating visceral signs of an anthropomorphic language, a biological expression, a neo-language, or reemergence of ancient human calligraphy. The sculptures float in the space as if writing on air, illuminated by light to cast shadows almost mimicking the trace coming off a pen. The audio is used to listen to the language of the sculptures, the sound of their tongue, to rehear their process of development, and re-listen to the invisibility of their origins. The work concludes on the gesture of language, and how to crystallise the 'hic et nunc', expanding the present into an extra-present, a moment layered by material, memories, magic, nature and the unknown. All elements play together in the essence of language in dancing, tracing, shaping and rhythm.
