Ars Memoria ((rec))

ArsMemoria((rec)) is an audio-visual installation and live performance by Tom Tlalim and Shira klasmer, in collaboration with musician Karolina Bäter.

Projected stretches of long, panoramic still imagery are superimposed with electro-acoustic sounds, exploring aspects of contemporary urban society and notions such as displacement, local identity, projection, time, and memory.

Motion captured on rolls of photographic negative, become synonymous here with time-stretched recordings of extended Recorder techniques. Associations and Breath, the essentials bring them together, suggesting meaning. Urban environment is the context for these happenings, as the mind renders facets of city surface.
