Frequencies is an ongoing new series that extends the questioning of frequency and non-grammatical sonic inscription in the visual space. This series is the result of my fascination for contemporary and acoustic music, starting with Giacinto Scelsi's experiments in the beginning of the 20th century, then the discovery of the theoretical questioning of their transcription through the research of John Cage and Cornelius Cardew particularly in Treatise.
My gesture thus focused on the scrolling of the visual/sound space as it was being read.
The format has changed, expanding and crashing in a ratio of 1/3, close to the original format of Marey and Muybridge's chronophotographs, placing this research so strongly embedded in the material, halfway between synaesthetic and chronophotographic perception. The space for the development of a movement in vibratory and frequency form within a constrained format.
Frequencies like a magnifying glass stretches the horizontals into lasting values, freeing itself from the purely sonic aspect to take up the idea of the patterns of modulation, transmission, reverberation, absorption and silence. Create reliefs in a background visual white noise… a rough and crackling noise.
