Sound Portrait series

/2014 ~/ Video installation / LCD TV、 frame、 sheet music /75x45x15cm

“Sound Portrait-Taiwan”《聲音肖像系列》piece picturized visual pattern with notes. Presenting with video installation, the work looks like a disorder sheet music. I gemmed the LCD screen in a gold frame adding headphone to subscribe to the sound of the creation.

 

When the time line of the image touches the figures in the portrait, noisy sounds will rise because of the accumulating complicated sound. The illogic noise produced according to the method of music notation is similar to the politician on the stage. They lives in the politic environment which seems in regular condition on surface but it is unreasonable indeed.

 

We can discuss the creation in three aspect: visual, musical, and cultural. Visually, they are portraits of the presidents from respective countries. I presented the installation by imitating classic portraits with arranged notes. Regarding the background music, I wrote music that are related to the background and identity on every politicians’ portraits respectively. Some are music that are popular during their presidency; Others reflect the leaders’ lives;Still the others are even military songs or officially banned songs at the time.

 

About music selection, I tried my best to choose those which were once household songs. The meaning of music selection comes from my ideology toward the politicians. Even the accompany instruments were carefully decided to correspond to the atmosphere that the songs present, attempting to recall people living in present society the once existed histories and group memories.
