Sound Experimentation with Animated Films

This exhibition is an experimental laboratory, inviting visitors to explore the relationship between sound and moving images through playful, interactive, sensory and performative experiences.

In this context, visitors are invited to experiment and play with sound collaboratively, stimulating imagination, auditory perception, concentration and the association of ideas that may correspond to the nature of the images. The gallery space will also function as a resonance chamber, creating a sense of continuous movement as sounds intertwine and complement one another.

This exhibition builds on Anilupa’s experience of developing artistic and filmmaking workshops with children and young people. Drawing on creative practices that have led to community performances and sound experimentation workshops for animated films, the exhibition brings these approaches into the gallery, inviting visitors  to explore the relationship between sound and image through hands-on, collaborative activities.

In addition to various sound-making objects created by Anilupa, construtcted from recycled materials, and purshased musical instruments , the exhibition also features the continuous screening of three films produced in Anilupa’s animation worshops with children in educational settings , providing the basis for the sound experiments.
