Fios de Silere (2024) is a sound and light installation that dives into the question: "How can silence be materialised in an audiovisual work of art?". Silence is not merely the absence of sound and has various constructions. The diversity of literature on this topic, makes it clear that no consensus is possible, thus, silence is elusive. How to materialise the elusive? This artistic research project delves into this problematic by investigating how artists materialise, write and talk about silence, and how humans experience and relate to it. Each person contacts and creates silence, alone and with others. Extending the research scope beyond the auditory world, sound and light become the vehicles for expressing our thoughts on this matter. They permeate the exhibition space with metaphorical silences, making the materiality of silence tangible and allowing it to be experienced by both body and mind.
