"Sound Sound Sound", Galeria Metropolitana, Santiago de Chile, 2006

This installation was organized by a three channel video piece of street musicians, mostly recorded in the New York City subway system. Around this urban-sound research a series of other works developed as a way to produce a set up for its presentation. A large curtain with a geometric design was placed at the entrance of the gallery, it was functional (making the space darker) and it was also a reference of my own body of work. At the center of the space I installed a series of wood panels that created an architectural sculpture, which organized the disposition and perception of both the video work and a series of drawings (“People I have met in the subway”, which where replicas of the business cards and personal information that the musicians provided to me). The video consisted of shots of individual musicians which projected together created collaborative sound moments. Public and private spaces where confused, urban and lo-fi human scale architecture worked together.
