Zimoun – Sound Sculptures
Zimoun’s sound sculptures revolve around using industrial and everyday materials such as cardboard and manipulates them in a mechanical way that when in motion, creates immersive and beautical sounds. His sculptures are typically installation pieces that spin, turn, oscillate ect, to create a depth in the sounds. I admire his works especially because of the materials he uses; Zimoun manages to discover the hidden sounds of everyday objects and exhibits them in a way that produces almost a spatial experience, derived from a series of the same object.
I believe that the motion of the objects are generated by programming the oscillations of the corresponding string or wire, which leads to the oscillation of the object.
The artist, Zimoun has always been interested in both sound art and visual art, which has helped him in his projects; his sound sculptures are both visually and phonetically aesthetic and theses components work together to create the immersive experience.
