” Using simple and functional components, Zimoun builds architecturally-minded platforms of sound. Exploring mechanical rhythm and flow in prepared systems, his installations incorporate commonplace industrial objects. In an obsessive display of simple and functional materials, these works articulate a tension between the orderly patterns of Modernism and the chaotic forces of life. Carrying an emotional depth, the acoustic hum of natural phenomena in Zimoun’s minimalist constructions effortlessly reverberates.“
I find the minimal simplicity yet technical complexity of these pieces incredible. The repetition on the first one causes a rain-like patter – the textures of each piece and what it hits displaying an immense importance to the sonic nature of the peice. Each different one can be clammer, patter, spit but each one has a resonating pattern of repetition that creates an environment of immersive listening.
