I am Half Sick of Shadows. (Film – scenography – live sound design – live music) 60 min.
OBS: Arrangementet måtte dessverre avlyses.
I am Half Sick of Shadows is an immersive, cinema-based experience by artist, Nazare Soares. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s poem The Bells, the event is composed of four acts; silver, golden, bronze and iron. The poetic nature of the work explores and plays with perceptions of Earth, as well as the disconnected yet intertwined nature of human activities.
An audio-visual composition is made by creating translations of marks found on used shooting targets. Traces of bullet impacts have been interpreted as pitch, timing, surround placement, sound qualities and gestures. This data has then been used to create the film scores using different composition techniques and accordingly they mark rhythms within the film. The vibrations from a tuning fork in the performance is mirroring the bullet impacts onto a body, as musical tones and sound frequencies are related to the seven tantric chakras.
