Unsounded Voices

When it comes to artistic experience, an artist never knows what he could become, and those around him will not know that until the end of his life”

– Willem De Kooning

“I have always done installations inside museums, that way I feel control. But it was too comfortable and I wanted to make my protected creation within an authorized space. I wanted to create within nature…”

–Takashi Hinoda

Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Hinoda used the Katakana syllabary (a Japanese writing system) to create a powerful metaphor between writing and sound. Western spectators might infer that these foreign symbols represent  specific oriental characters, each with specific sounds and in turn a unique visual sense. The relationship between image, sound and silence allows the natural space to release the voices of the forest that have been materialized in Black and White, like silent onomatopoeias.
