There is always room for coincidence.
From Alva Noto
Some things can be perfectly expressed by sound alone and images would only be disturbing. Other times, sound would be possible, but visuals are much stronger and closer to what I want to express and then again, they sometimes overlap perfectly.
Starting off, all options are always open, but as soon as you choose something, you inevitably limit yourself. If you go for B, A is out.
I made a lot of different experiments with tapes at that time, until I finally realized around 1995, that sound is an interesting subject for me. Ever since then sound got more and more integrated into my art works, musically as well as physically.
I always try hard to arrange all media in a way so that it expresses what I want - this is not limited to one medium alone and varies from case to case.
One often thinks that using 2 different things like visual and sound lead to 2 different conclusions - to a different content - but in in my case it is all one.
The subject of my work has a lot to do with general, artistic matters, questions like: What is creativity? Where do we come from? What are our motors? What is coincidence? What is logic?
You cannot always make such big exhibitions, because they consume too much time and energy.
When I define polarities in my work, I actually create the space between things. I point to the question I am actually interested in, without naming it.
I try to keep a balance between conceptional or intellectual comprehension and emotional understanding.
