Jez riley French & Pheobe riley Law: island | fjorar – the crystal detector by CONA zavod / institute published on 2021-03-14T21:23:17Z Jez riley French (sound / photography) Pheobe riley Law (texts) 13 Mar–7 Maj 2021 Sound installation exhibition Steklenik Gallery, Ljubljana, Slovenia In-situ FM walks (at Park Tivoli) on the 88.8 MHz frequency: Saturday, 13 Mar 2021 at 12.00 in front of Castle Tivoli – listening of the sound composition Tuesday, 16 Mar 2021 at 18.00 in front of Castle Tivoli – listening of the prerecorded sound event radio exhibition opening on the programme Ars: Wednesday, 24 mar 2021 at 20.00 You can read more about the conceptualization of work in the pdf notebook ísland | fjórar – the crystal detector http://www.steklenik.si/en/jez-riley-french-island-fjorar-2/ The series of works ìsland | fjorar is based around the material gathered on several trips to Iceland and on an ongoing fascination with the interplay of different elements of sound, image and text. Sounds that are usually filtered out by our hearing response or are above or below our hearing range are a key element in the installation. Using extended techniques and self-built devices, author listen on the sound of minerals dissolving, the infrasound of the earth spinning on its axis and the ultrasonics of geothermal activity. These traces are combined with documentation of momentary interactions of specific locations in Iceland, together with photographic images and text pieces by his daughter Pheobe. New version of the composition created for Gallery Steklenik – ísland | fjórar – the crystal detector – will include multi-channel sound and printed elements. Many of the individual sounds are intense yet these are not extreme events. Rather they are nearer to the truth behind our false idea of Iceland as a tranquil and sonically calm place. In fact, no where is tranquil, at least not for any other species. It is only we humans that feel a need to define and contain ‘nature’, even to the point of separating our species from that word. In this sense, this piece is about the elemental need to question, and the sheer joy of all that can bring (even the difficult answers).
