TAREK ATOUI
Performance video | 3.23mins | 2023
Museum of Contemporary Art Australia
Tarek Atoui's live performance within 'Waters’ Witness', extending his ongoing project of documenting the acoustic identities of port cities, during the opening weekend of the exhibition. Paris-based artist Tarek Atoui (b. 1980, Beirut) is a composer whose work considers how sound can be experienced across multiple senses, the ways it facilitates social interaction, and its relationship to place, history and ecology. He develops his multi-disciplinary projects over several years and in collaboration with musicians, instrument makers, technicians and other artists.
'Waters’ Witness' is an immersive sonic landscape based on the acoustic identities of port cities from Athens to Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Beirut, Porto, Istanbul and now Sydney. Recording sounds close to the sea and under the water, Atoui has produced a unique score for each city which becomes part of the work’s soundscape and a source of inspiration for new sound sculptures and musical devices. 'Waters’ Witness' is an immersive sonic landscape that is reimagined in a different format for each presentation.
