notes on the sound chamber of the Doors house

For Suzanne.

The Doors house is a private artwork in the city of Groningen were three persons try to live in and around.

One of the spaces of the Doors house is the sound chamber. www.mijnske.org / work / the doors house

Light is a physical phenomenon that moves through the building. Sometimes it rests, sometimes it hides and plays with the surfaces like the sound of a popsong is created by different instruments and voices. The overall character of the light of a building, the atmosphere is given by the light and its variations ad durations.

A sound chamber is created for the light. The different lights meet and mix. They interfere with each other and then disappear. Light and sound are both ephemeral.

Light exists in relation to the shade. In music the sounds need the silence to evolve into a piece and to define its existence from beginning to end. Blackness surrounds the light in a very tight relationship of indefinite dependency.
A photo can show one moment of the harmony of light and silence.
