Sound Recycling

People usually pay attention to the morphological forms of objects, but we seldom listen to the sounds of objects.

Sound is frequency and wave. It is one of the best ways for human beings to resonate with the universe. Let's listen to, feel, and even play with these remnants (aka Trash) - this is a ritual of Trash-formations.

The instruments used in the performance were crafted from everyday materials found in life: aluminum cans, plastic bottles, plastic containers, glass bottles, plastic hoses, metal, cardboard, discarded buttons, and more.

This ritual of giving new life to leftovers was realized through a collective "Soundpainting" workshop.

"Soundpainting" is a commonly used collective improvisational technique in European and American music academies. In this technique, a conductor or composer uses a set of predetermined gestures to conduct a group of participants, which can include musicians, dancers, or even visual artists, as well as individuals with no artistic skills. The conductor communicates real-time improvised "composition" by directing participants to produce corresponding sounds based on remembered gestures and movements. Each participant represents a fixed "note," and the collaboration of multiple participants creates a symphonic effect.

The ten performers recruited from the public were all non-professional actors, ranging in age from five to over fifty. Together, they collaboratively created a short play during the workshop, in a game-like atmosphere.

Everyone can be both an environmentalist and an artist.
