Soeria van den Wijngaard - We all assume

The idea of impermanence is deeply liberating and peaceful. Liberating because it opens all the senses and pulls you in the present. Peaceful because you realize that all, bliss but also suffering, shall pass. The mind is creating such realistic images that it is hard to believe so. While reading, formation of mental images happens automatically. This is called ‘the mind’s eye’. In my opinion this is also possible with field recordings, music and other immaterial forms of art. I strive to activate your mind-eye or mind’s eye in order to create a deeper connection with your imagination, sense of self and sense of belonging. More idealistically, I want to increase listening awareness in daily life.

She studies that what we have in common.
Her main medium is (binaural) field recording.
Rather than focusing on the sounds of the city or nature only,
Soeria focuses her work on the small, intimate and above all relational.
Vulnerability and ephemerality are at the core of all her works.
