From that moment on, the participant’s movement makes time pass –without movement, nothing happens– morphing the interior and exterior space, the last one observable through the windows. Several cues of passing time are given, such as a dripping faucet, mechanical clock, wind, etc. Each room can be real or abstract; the interior can become external and vice versa. The room’s morphology and dimensions remain unchanged so that the participant can continue to walk through it without the risk of bumping into the walls. Along with the mutations of the room, the soundscapes mutate from sounds produced by nature that are rarified to fully synthetic environments.

The name chosen for the work (Transit) alludes to the passage between different environments generated by the participant of the work, who transits through different environments, but also to the iMKONSTHALL context itself as an exhibition space in transit, based on a container that is, in turn, an icon of transit, and finally to the transit between inside and outside, a situation of decompression experienced after two years of confinement due to the global pandemic.

Manuel is collaborating with Mauro Zannoli, a composer and Sound Artist. His creative practice is born on the borders between space, sound and its temporal evolution. He creates musical compositions and sound installations by articulating the capability of dwelling, wandering, and discovering a space, physical or virtual, through sound in technological environments.
