Urban Reminiscence——Sound, Object, and Rhythm
The exhibition "Urban Reminiscence - Sound, Object, and Rhythm" will be held at Sta. in Maruyamacho, Shibuya from 4-12 July 2020. The exhibition, which focuses on urban reminiscence, begins by collecting scrap wood from the city of Shibuya and making field recordings of the sounds that the scrap wood would have made. Then, by fixing these sounds to the scrap wood, the work attempts to play sounds from the urban scrap wood, and by mixing multiple environmental sounds, recollect the memory of a city in a state of rapid change. The distorted materiality of the materials used in the urban space was exploited to explore the reminiscent aspect of a soundscape The exhibition space was open to the public, allowing visitors to listen to the environmental sounds of Shibuya in real-time and in the past in parallel.
