“Geo, Opus II – Solid Matters“ – Audiovisual Concerts by Giorgio Partesana and Duncan Pinhas
The intent of Geo is the audio-visualisation of new hybrid landscapes. The concerts are drafted as an exploration of new territories created with matters recorded in specific environments. Time-based manipulation and amplification of these materials evokes a physical sensations allowing abstract geometries to acquire a meaning. The destination of the journey is an imaginary land where natural and artificial geometries, symbols of our habitats merge into hybrid patterns.
The project, will to stimulate a reflection about the environment that we inhabit, alternating lulling to uncomfortable moments.
Geo, Opus II – Solid Matters [Stills]
This, most recent, second opus focuses on solid matters such as stone and concrete, on which cutting and arranging movements are opposed to aging and breaking.
Here is the Full Length Demo.
