Jonáš Gruska: Zvon II.

The sound installation in specific space examines how our current society is influenced by memory and how this manifests in history connected to collective memory. It represents a cross-disciplinary overlap of a work shaped by various factors and events of the past.

The present sound considers the motif of a bell on various levels—historical, material-physical, and choreographic.

Bells as warning systems, ratchets, and semantrons. Listen to a new script on the record.
