Chladni

The work Chladni renders visible acoustic vibrations beyond the threshold of human hearing, placing the limits of perceptibility at the center of consideration as a physical reference point. It situates itself within acoustics and the physics of vibrating bodies, closely linked to resonance phenomena and the behavior of matter under oscillation. Some works in the series combine several such inaudible frequencies, which stand in mathematical harmony with one another. Sight assumes the role of hearing here: a domain fundamentally closed to the ear is made accessible through another sensory channel.
