Daniella Cascella and Lucia Farinata explore the relationship between sound, as a media, and site, landscape. Through shared background, music, literature and experience in writing and curating visual they created what they call a Sound Threshold.
In this specific project presented during the Transmission, Farinata and Cascella chose Farinata’s native land of Trentino, near the Lake Garda, to investigate the extended metaphor of boundary, frontier, border and difference.
All began by long walk up to the top of the alpine environment where they invite people to explore this territory through an unusual way. The music played in situ by a band reshape the mental landscape. People share their emotions, re-invest the place and absorb sound and images. The climbing experience became an exchange of memories, personal accounts, and fragments of the past became sound of stories on this archeological location.
The interdisciplinary collaborative project between artists, archeologists, writers, and the public on the alpine environment, and the past, so vivid in this site, recreate new memories. It questions the way curating projects could be articulated beyond conventional context. The re-assembling of these different elements led people to question what they call the relationship between art and science and its physical, social and cultural environment. Sound Threshold tries to answer to this important question “ How does one transcend convention system of representations, shatter two -dimensional ways of thinking, and combine modes of looking at with those who look through?“
