Open Group – Repeat After Me 2022
The project Repeat After Me 2022 by the creative collective Open Group works with sound as the primary carrier of wartime experience. Instead of images of destruction, it focuses on the acoustic trace of conflict—on the sounds of weapons, explosions, sirens, and silence, which inscribe themselves into the bodies and memories of people living through war or forced exile. The ability to recognize these sounds is not a matter of artistic or sociological experiment; however experimental its aesthetics may be, it signals an effort to survive.
Too close to remember
The exhibition explores the theme of synaesthesis – i.e. a reaction of the body and mind and an experience that melds the sensory modalities of diverse entities existing in the digital, posthuman and technological environments. The project develops the discourse on various approaches to perception, especially in reference to the crisis of authenticity of human sensory perception that finds itself under pressure from contemporary power structures, surveillance and production.
