The pursuit of silence amid noise forms the main theme of a new sound work by audiovisual artist Pavel Mrkus. The sound composition will be based on field recordings and instrumental elements, complemented by a characteristic allegorical interlude. The author will focus on whether it is possible to discover and convey gaps in noise, whereby the silence found reminds us of a breath or a delicate spider web, disappearing yet still present.

Pavel Mrkus (*1970) is one of those artists who connect the technologically shaped globalized world with the spiritual and mythical levels of human experience. His work is characterized by a sensitive combination of contemporary visual strategies with symbolic references across cultures. He combines sophisticated digital technologies with an effort to convey spiritual impulses drawing on both Western European tradition and Eastern spirituality.
