Mozartova White

This body of work was made during my artist residency at the MeetFactory in Prague, CZ in January of 2012.  It is an exploration of how light defines space, specifically the winter light of my flat on Mozartova street. The space I existed in was utterly white, yet I felt like I was constantly chasing the sun, waiting for a moment when it was not dark. Taking some of the ideas that inform my project Concealed at first at last I appear, I set about trying to capture the light, the essence of this space.
Picture
Mozartova White No. 16, 2012, digital chromogenic print, 13" x 19"
The image Mozartova White No. 16​ is paired with the following sound composition. The sound is created by layering modified ambient recording of the space the image was created in with a "translated" version of the image itself, shifting pixel values to MIDI notes to compose with.

listening to the sound with headphones is highly recommended
