Tempo passé
– a sacral resonance concert made of junk
Sound performance and exhibition, Risk:Reclaim:Entertain, Råhuset, Copenhagen 2009
The installation consists of harmonizing electromagnetic sound sculptures made from salvaged metal objects.
The hidden song of the consumer society is revealed as an attemt to extent its short life. Washing drums, grills, tools and emptied biscuit cans gives an encore on their journey towards the hollow void of oblivion.
Tempo passé is a sound sculpture by Signe Lidén and Annesofie Norn, build up by singing, lightening scrap metal. A room at 15 m2 is filled with found objects turned into sound-creating structures and painted with fluorescent paint. The sound is trigged by electromagnetic resonators and played on by the two artist as an ongoing life installational work for the audience to walk through.
