Pavel Mrkus – Silence

The search for silence among sounds forms the main motif of the newly prepared sound work by audiovisual artist Pavel Mrkus. The sound composition will be based on field recordings and instrumental elements, accompanied by a characteristic allegorical insert. The artist will focus on whether it is possible to discover and mediate the gaps in noises, while the silence found reminds us of a breath or a delicate web, disappearing and yet present.

Pavel Mrkus (*1970) is one of the artists who connect the technologically shaped globalized world with the spiritual and mythical levels of human experience. His work is characterized by a sensitive fusion of contemporary visual strategies with symbolic references across cultures. It combines sophisticated digital technologies with an effort to convey spiritual impulses drawing on both Western European tradition and Eastern spirituality.
