Behind the Scenens
During an excursion to Venice in October 2018, Melis Günoglu and I created an installation which changed the pedestrians gaze’ and disturbed their activities. A sound curve not only became a beautiful object in a small alley, people became irritated and perhaps after this irritation listened more intensely for anything special in the surrounding sounds. They heard Venice Noises: Our own song composed of suitcases running over cobblestones, pigeons soaring, sales conversations in English, an operatic aria that was sung in a lonely part of the city and a street musician who played the waltz from the movie Amélie on guitar; all mixed with the real sounds of that small alley.
