Mute Family, 2019, installation detail with Singing Girl: oil on canvas, wood, aluminium, MP3 player with sound exciter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mute Family brings together paintings, canvas-on-wood objects and quiet sound elements. Forms that appear inside the paintings seem to detach, leave the canvas and enter the room as physical objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In several configurations, the object appears like a fragment extracted from the painting, leaving behind an empty or raw trace. These fragments are not simply sculptural additions. Some of them function as small sound bodies, using audio exciters or speakers to transmit quiet, close-range sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The viewer has to approach the objects physically. The sound does not dominate the space, but appears as a muted extension of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The installation continues a recurring logic in the work: painting is treated not as a closed surface, but as a system that can break open, produce fragments, leave empty traces and become object, sound and spatial arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paintings, canvas-on-wood objects, MP3 players, audio exciters \/ speakers and sound.
Variable dimensions.
