"The exhibition takes the form of a sonic prayer, a call to the contemplative act of listening, featuring works by twenty-four selected artists across two sites."
"Precious Okoyomon plans to show a series of wind chimes inspired by Quatuor pour la fin du temps, reflecting on Hildegard's language and its angelic qualities."
"Hildegard's music can be described as 'ethereal', 'other worldly', or intensely spiritual, with chants believed to be divinely inspired."
The Holy See pavilion at the Venice Biennale will showcase works by notable artists and musicians, including Brian Eno and FKA Twigs. The exhibition, titled The Ear is the Eye of the Soul, focuses on the life of Saint Hildegard of Bingen, a medieval abbess and composer. It will take place in two locations and aims to create a sonic prayer experience. Precious Okoyomon will present wind chimes inspired by Olivier Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time, reflecting Hildegard's ethereal musical legacy.
