Semiotics of Water 2024
Video & Sound by Gladys Lou
Semiotics of water is a performance video and experimental sound piece of the changing states of water and the fluidity of memories and time. The sonic poetry weaves together oceanic and electromagnetic waves, capturing the frequencies within bodies, light, and dreamscapes.
Using hydrophone and electromagnetic microphones, the work utilizes a range of field-recorded and collected sound from chimes, bells, percussions, music boxes, wind, rain, foams, moving water, and electrical currents. The shifting skyline and ritualistic soundscape combine to shape a surreal, distant dream that submerges the audience in a realm in between sleep and wakefulness. This immersive installation explores sensory perception, consciousness, temporality, and spatiality.
