Project description

Ny-Ålesund is the title of the first sound composition made by Amélie Laurence Fortin, and was produced with the recorded sounds of her five kinetic sculptures:‘Envoy’, ‘Decade’, ‘2RPM’, ‘Two Revolutions Per Minute’ and
‘Cloud Nine’ as well as some field recordings she made in Svalbard and Jan Mayen in 2017. The epic sound journey is a 21-minute journey into an unknown landscape open to the imagination of every listener.

To accompany this sound experience for the group exhibition Materialities, Fortin added a printed collage and a long colorful hair tail entitled Siren. The 3 art pieces presented at Das Esszimmer gallery are remixes, an experimental way for the artist to activate the full potential of every materiality explored in her practice and to push the meaning of these to another level. It forces her to explore the boundaries of the materials and of her imagination.
