2013, sound object.

Sounds and tones, white and pink noise, emerge from a bipolar mesh of sound and gradually make up word fragments.
Directed hearing is disturbed, as the sounds continually get lost in the pulsating intermediate space.
Because the sound alignment is fixed, the recipients find themselves situated in a pulsating space, looking into an empty centre. This leads inevitably to self-reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sfumato<\/strong>, the title of this \u2018window\u2018, whose side panels consist of loudspeakers, reveals the work\u2019s origin in painting, or more precisely, Renaissance painting. Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s painting technique produced resonances that undermined clear-cut contours. Clara Oppel\u2019s artistic origins are in painting and sculpture. With this work, she forges a wide resonating bridge to these media, and develops them further using contemporary means that she has been developing for years in the form of sound sculptures. In addition to this, she harks distinctly back to the form of the \u2018triptych\u2018. It arose in the context of the retable, a framed altarpiece. Here though, the centre remains empty. Into this emptiness viewers can project their own thoughts and emotions. Moreover, Renaissance painters discovered the window as a space opening up new dimensions. In the light of this historical-cultural background, the artist develops a mesh of sound that has bi-polar sources: \u2018white noise\u2018 from the right wing, and \u2018pink noise\u2018 from the left one. Little by little, noises and sounds emerge and combine slowly into fragments of words. Focussed listening is constantly interrupted because the sounds get lost in the vibrating in-between space. Due to the fixed direction of the sound, the recipient stands in the oscillating space, gazing directly at the empty centre. In this condensed space one gradually begins to understand the spoken sentence \u2013 which thereby breaks free of its boundaries and extends towards openness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
