INSTALLATION — 2022
‘LEAVE YOUR MIND… NEXT TO MINE…’
TENDER (then punch me) is a collaborative art project by composers BART and Ragnheiður Erla Björnsdóttir (ERLA). Merging sound, visual art and poetry into musical compositions.
The installation is made up out of a 6.2 (six & two-channel) speaker array installation and a light installation. The composition is divided into three parts: morning, midday and evening and plays for a total of 9 hours of electro-acoustic music and fragmented poetic vocal recordings.
With this audio installation, they explore what effect these unprecedented times of (non-)change have on a person. Or more specifically, what effect it has on themselves. Music and abstract poetry are used to ‘give a voice’ to these intangible emotions, strangeness and soreness. Especially because these feelings are impossible to put into plain words.
