ZGOMOT (2025)
"Zgomot is when many people speak at the same time in one place; one says this, another says that… Instead, we should be quiet and listen to the one who is speaking." (Mamaia, 2025)
In the work Zgomot -the Romanian word for noise, sound, and tumult- I bring my grandmother’s voice close through conversations, field recordings, and listening exercises. In an interactive installation of radios, her surroundings resonate, alternated with fragmented memories.
By turning the tuner as a viewer, you decide what becomes audible and what disappears into the noise. In one of the radios, I invite you to become temporarily part of the work yourself, with personal stories and sounds. Listening thus becomes a form of slowing down, observing, and remembering. It creates a space to capture voices, environments, and oral histories; sounds that would otherwise be lost in the noise of daily life.
