THE MAGIC OF SOUND by Zimoun

Using simple and functional components, Zimoun builds architecturally-minded platforms of sound. Exploring mechanical rhythm and flow in prepared systems, his installations incorporate commonplace industrial objects. In an obsessive display of simple and functional materials, these works articulate a tension between the orderly patterns of Modernism and the chaotic forces of life. Carrying an emotional depth, the acoustic hum of natural phenomena in Zimoun's minimalist constructions effortlessly reverberates.
Zimoun is best known for his installative, generally site-specific, immersive works. He employs mechanical principles of rotation and oscillation to put materials into motion and thus produce sounds. For this he principally uses simple materials from everyday life and industrial usage, such as cardboard, DC motors, cables, welding wire, wooden spars or ventilators.
Zimoun’s works continually embrace oppositional positions, such as the principles of order and chaos. Works may be arranged in a geometrical pattern or ordered and installed according to a system, yet they behave chaotically and act - within a carefully prepared framework of possibilities - in an uncontrolled manner as soon as they are mechanically activated. As if in a clinical study, the pattern and the systematic approach enable an overview, so that the chaos generated by the mechanical process can be better analysed.

Museum?

[@dischargedarrowgetback4322]

If a tree falls in an empty forest, will it make a sound? Of course it makes a sound. Sound itself exists independently of human perception.

[@sergiomeluk]

Waves without ears are sound?

[@mlock1000]

"Sound itself exists independently of human perception" fascinating you phrased it like that.

[@jmack8767]

Hm. Why does this remind me of that video tape from "the Ring"?

[@logbia7k608]

Haunting but fascinating at the same time. 2:15 this was is so cool honestly.

[@raconvid6521]

Remember back in 2024 when real, physical art was still a thing?

[@peckerwood780]

That's not art

[@domaa93]

Art has many faces. For one person, just what he sees can be beautiful, for another what he hears. For example I'm second one - I'm sensitive to sounds more than the visual.
