Film Construction’s Chris Sisarich opens multi-sensory exhibition at Black Eye Gallery, Sydney
In collaboration with composer Peter Hobbs, renowned New Zealand photographer Chris Sisarich exhibits his multi-sensory exhibition I Am Here from April 8th to 26th at Black Eye Gallery, Sydney.
I Am Here raises questions about our objective reality and existence through 18 pieces of sound and image that put forward a sensorily holistic experience.
Opening night reception: 9th April, 6:00 – 08:00 PM
Exhibition dates: 8th April – 26th April 2015
Of 16 still images, 2 pieces are accompanied with a musical interpretation composed by Hobbs along with a physical copy of the musical score. These two pieces are partnered with listening stations and will be sold with their aural component to ensure the pieces stay true to their multi-sensory entirety.
There are two pieces of moving image, one of which enjoys interactive visuals and sound, enabling the viewer to affect what they can see and hear.
Says Sisarich: “Each photograph is a living world in itself. It is a past record of one relative moment in space-time, but it also lives now, communicating and imparting feelings. Sound is similar; it truly lives when we experience it, and our feelings bring it to life.”
Says Hobbs: “I have always loved the merger of visuals and sound. They have a sometimes sublime, sometimes tempestuous relationship, it’s a dynamic relationship I personally find highly stimulating and the result of the marriage always seems more than the sum of its parts. I hope you find it so with this exhibition.”
