Swiss artist Zimoun uses commonplace items like cardboard boxes and plastic jugs to create immersive soundscapes via motors, wires, and strings. His recent exhibition in The Hague, for instance, featured piano strings attached to polyethylene and water containers, producing unique sounds influenced by their interaction. Zimoun emphasizes the distinct timbres that emerge from different setups, showcasing how even mundane objects can be perceived as instruments through kinetic movement, thus inviting viewers to rethink their commonplace functionalities. The artist's upcoming exhibitions promise to expand on these engaging concepts.
Zimoun's work transforms everyday objects into instruments, creating ambient soundscapes through their kinetic movement, blurring the lines between chaos and order.
Despite using similar basic constructions, the interaction between vibrating wires and objects leads to distinctly different sounds in each installation.
