The kitchen sessions: 4AM
An intellectual experiment in time, space and memory
(2016, Premiere)
by Sol Andersson (Sweden)
Sol Andersson on 'The kitchen sessions: 4AM':
What is presence, what is being and what does it mean? I had this idea that through recording being able to seize traces of presence or in best case scenario: the rooms own being. But how do you possibly capture a Cheshire cat? It’s not about reconstructing the sounds of the kitchen during these sessions but to create the kitchen that (in some dimensions) in time and space already exists.
The material for this piece consists of four separate 24h recording sessions made in my former kitchen in Stockholm during sep-nov 2015. For this piece I chose to work with the recordings made 4AM.
