With The Fool\u2019s Ballad, Zahra Poonawala gives a new opportunity to travel both inside and in the company of a sound. This installation is a continuation of previous works which already presented sound not as an impenetrable surface but as a volume to be traveled in. These works, like TUTTI, were also based on a dialogue between spectator and sounds\/objects. The result was a heightened awareness of the plasticity of sound, of its living character.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In The Fool\u2019s Ballad, the sound configurations evolve according to the physical relationships between the viewer and the sculpture. At the approach of the spectator, a ceramic loudspeaker comes alive and emits a song, that of a soprano, while at the same time rotating along with the visitor\u2019s movements. By approaching or moving away, the spectator modifies the song: the soprano is \u00abinfluenced\u00bb, becoming sometimes shy, sometimes inhabited, revealing a palette of nuances and different regional accents. The composition of this ballad was given to Ga\u00ebtan Gromer. The classic lied of origin is revealed under unsuspected facets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
