Seoryang Kim / Sounds of the City in Euljiro (Seoul)

Exploring the sonic environment, Seoryang Kim walks through the Euljiro, an area in central Seoul with both natural features and busy industrial estates. An audience is invited to join part of her journey, from Cheonggye-cheon Stream to a nearby metro station and along the alleys packed with small ironworks and printing shops around Euljiro Saga Street. It is an opportunity to experience, perhaps for the first time, the sounds and rhythms being produced in this quarter deep inside the city. All that is required is attentive listening. The artist provides participants with her stereophonically composed sound works from field recordings of four particular locations on the route. Participants will have a chance to enjoy soundscapes directly captured by their ears as well as these compositions from a headphone or earphone. This soundwalk will be documented and a video will be premiered for opening of the festival.

This event concluded with a Q&A with Seoryang Kim and curator Seihee Shon.

<도시의 소리 을지로 (서울)>은 김서량 작가가 서울 도심에 위치한 을지로 일대를 걸으며 소리 환경을 탐구하는 사운드워크 퍼포먼스이다. 작가는 일부 구간을 관객들과 함께 걸으며 청계천, 지하철역사, 철공소와 인쇄소가 밀집된 을지로 4가 주변 골목으로 안내한다. 작가는 경로 중 네 지점의 현장음을 미리 녹음한 후 입체적으로 재구성한 사운드트랙을 제공한다. 관객들은 직접 귀로 듣는 현장음과 헤드폰 혹은 이어폰을 통해 작가가 녹음한 현장음을 듣는 두 가지 경험을 모두 할 수 있다. 이 사운드워크 퍼포먼스의 기록영상은 페스티벌의 오프닝에서 첫 상영된다.
