“He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it” – Isaiah 44:14

Forest in a Forest by Naama Kostiner and Luc Messinezis is an effort to outline the importance of the forest in our lives. Naama with the lens as an extension of her being, captures images, moments, stills which transform into memories of a place that is so far yet so close to us. In a similar way, the aural presentation and phonographic work of Messinezis is an effort to capture time and space and relocate it within the context of a gallery in the village of Ein Hod, which is surrounded by the forest of the ancient Carmel Mountains.

The sound installation P[ear]ception was presented at Levendel-Bloch gallery in Ein hod artists village in Israel from the 11th of December to the 18th of December 2009. More information about the work can be found at the Sound Art installations section of this website.

Luc Messinezis’s work Wunderkammer: The Sound Cabinet of Curiosities in a stereo version format has been selected and is being currently presented at the online Sound Art exhibition SoundLAB VI. The exhibition has been currated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne and explores the theme ‘Sound compositions – a challenge for imagination’.

Sunday evening the switch was off and would never be on again.
The Wunderkammer was born, lived and died like a dragonfly. Choroechoic composition is real and now I intend to concentrate my efforts in realizing more concepts by using and developing this method of composition. Read the rest of this post…
