Something Other Than The Absence Of Sound at NTU ADM Portfolio

“Something Other Than The Absence Of Sound” is a three-part moving image installation derived from a desire to seek for silence amidst the overwhelming and chaotic rhythm of a modern city life. The need to survive in this developing world calls for constant movement and activity. Silence has thus become an elusive “commodity” of sorts, for those looking for a quiet respite in this saturated world. This project is an attempt to recreate different visual experiences that have been inspired by my explorations of certain aspects of silences we encounter in our everyday lives. These silences in question refer to that of a metaphysical nature, rather than of a religious or political nature.
