The Silence (2022) considers the relationship between architecture, music, sound and the immaterial. The double-screen video installation behaves much like a two-sided vinyl album—- with each “side”, or video projection, alternating performances of musical scores based on the unique brick-patterned walls of two churches designed by the Swedish modernist architect Sigurd Lewerentz, and played on the distinctive church organs the architect constructed for each space. The uncanny similarity between Lewerentz’s brickwork and player piano scores alludes to larger existential questions of presence and absence, sound and silence, that often guide or contravene spiritual life, and thus imbue ‘The Church’ as a unique architectural space wherein such inquiries take shape.
