During the Rencontres Mondes Multiples 2020the artist Konrad Korabiewski presented us his current project: Krafla.
While he should have been in residence for 2 months in Bourges as part of our partnership with the EMAP-EMAREnetwork, it is online that were, for this time, presented the artist and his work.
A cinematic soundscape and highly atmospheric composition, reflecting distinct Icelandic circumstances, and including recordings of an old Morse code message from 1976
Winning piece of the international sound art competition "Europe - A sound panorama" 2011.
Krafla is both a sound and visual work resulting from recordings made at the geometric power plant of Krafla, Iceland. Listening to the calderas (cauldron in Portuguese) and the song of the drillings, Konrad Korabiewski records and draws the muffled noises of this volcanic region up to 4m deep.
A new creation residency is scheduled for the fall of 2021 in Bourges. During 2 months, Konrad Korabiewski will continue its work on the project Krafla by taking advantage of the 16mm editing table given to Antre Peaux by Boris Lehman.
