Treverk (3)

Solo exhibition at Oslo Prosjektrom. 12.11– 29.11.2015
8-channel sound installation

Treverk is an ongoing series of installations based on audio recordings of minuscule movements in trees. The work shown at Oslo Prosjektrom is the third one in the series. The recordings are treated and amplified to various degrees. Surface transducers have been attached to the installations trees in which the recordings were originally captured, allowing the sound to be affected by the logs in real time. Making the trees integral parts of the installations speakers.
The trees used in this work was brought down by strong winds and cut before I began working with them. No trees were felled by me to create this work.
The wood is returned to its place of origin after the exhibition period, allowing it to continue decomposing, serve as a host for various species, and fertilize the forest floor.
