A large number of cardboard boxes stacked throughout the gallery space, each with a small dc motor swinging a cotton ball that drums against its surface, will create a multitude of identical noises with the buzzing, beating, and swiveling of hundreds of the same small motors running simultaneously against the boxes.
Zimoun often works with a large number of the same mechanical systems and is interested in sound as an architectonic element, namely sound to create space but also sound to inhabit a room and interact with it. The choice of materials relates to a general interest in simplicity and minimalism—simple, raw, unspectacular, and pure—which Zimoun calls honest materials.
Zimoun encourages viewers to reflect and wonder, to think and question the surroundings, thus the titles of the installations are very technical, only describing the materials used.
“I work with three-dimensional sound structures, with spatial experiences and the exploration of sound, material, space, and perception,” Zimoun explains.
“In my installation, what you hear is what you see, and what you see is what you hear.
It is not a combination of visual and acoustic elements, as both are having the same source. The sound isn't more important than the visual elements, nor the other way around, as both are the same.”
