The space between sounds

In 2023, at the Arvo Pärt Centre in Estonia, I returned to the act of listening. Pärt’s music drew my attention to the interval between sounds: a silence that gives each sound its duration and weight.

This homage approaches the relation between sound, light and space through that interval. Rather than adding images to explain the music, I considered how an image might leave room for listening.

The work also raised a question for my earlier participatory practice: how can I remain attentive to another person’s voice without claiming to contain or resolve their experience?
