The Powder of Sympathy

Tuomas A. Laitinen

08”36, 2015, Finland, United States, Benin, China

 

Diving deep into the often obscure global flow of materials, in this instance copper, The Powder of Sympathy sets in motion a frantic flow of images combined with feverish pounding, hissing and rattling sounds sourced from West Africa, the USA and China. The healing properties of copper are juxtaposed with its conductive role in the development and continuity of electricity-dependent modern societies. It is a hypnotic journey to the material mediation of our existence.

作品《武器软膏》将快速切换的图像与采集于西非,美国和中国的,重击声、嘶嘶声和砰砰的声合成。铜的焊合特性与它在依赖电力的现代社会中的发展和持续性的传导作用并行。这是调解我们的存在与物质的迷人之旅。
