Sound of memory

2017

This diptych of sound sculptures is rooted in the sensory landscape of Prolom Banja in southern Serbia, a place tied to personal memory. Inspired by its natural sounds, the scent of moss, and the shape of the river bed, the work invites a multi-sensory experience that engages sound, scent, and texture.
Using stepper motors, the sculpture subtly recreate elements of the local soundscape – hypnotic rhythm of rolling pebbles in a mountain stream. These layered sonic patterns reflect both natural rhythms and human influence.
The work challenges the perceived divide between nature and culture, suggesting a deep entanglement between the two. As hybrid objects, the sculptures blur the line between organic and technological, offering space to reflect on coexistence, memory, and our shifting idea of nature in the Anthropocene.
Sound of Memory is a meditation on childhood, nostalgia, and place, preserving fleeting moments as mantra-like sound loops – echoes of a remembered and reimagined world.
