OUR MALAWI ; NO WORDS NEEDED
an Audio Visual Exhibition by Guy Fleisher and Noam Friedman
Between February - April 2019 we traveled through Malawi, using only public transport, meeting new people and experiencing the country.
This project is a recollection of these travels, encapsulating in it our own unique perspective of the country, through our own eyes and experiences.
Combining analogue and digital, we recorded environmental soundscapes where we settled for each leg of our trip. The photographs are of people in these stops, functioning as heart-felt memoirs of interesting lives.
All the images were printed in the darkroom. The silver prints are 40*50cm
The viewers position in front of the hanging images triggered the activation of sound recordings from the location that changed as you moved forward in the exhibition.
ESIME; Interactive Audio Visual installation.
The full image of Esime is dismantled to 6 [analogue] color images that are then reassembled in the space, creating a new 4th dimenssion that the viewer can then walk through and expireance a sound scape being composed in relation to their movement ,using a recording of Esime grinding Casava, a local root, all while looking for the ‘perfect point of view’ both visually and sonicalley.
The photographs were all taken with a Hasselblad CM-500 and Canon AE-1. Shot, developed and printed by Noam Friedman.
The sounds were all recorded with a Zoom H-6 and Soundman Binaural microphone, edited and mixed by Guy Fleisher.
