Tulio Restrepo

Voice active - voice passive. Messages received. (10'19'')

For this project I am using the answer-phone in my studio to receive messages concerning artistic topics. Since they are recorded electromagnetically, they reproduce space and time of the surrounding sounds, artificial sounds as well as the voices and memories of their senders together with their individual tones, coming from within a certain city, a certain street or another country. A photographic work completes this project visually using three main figures arranged on a sheet of music which suggest a virtual and imaginary space for a sound sculpture.
