From the Press Release
In their long-term project UNVEILED PRESENCE (secret sounds) the artists Natalie Bewernitz and Marek Goldowski explore the individual sound and identity hidden acoustic characteristics of known and unknown places of urban space. They do so by extending the explorations of airborne sound into the area of structure-borne noise. The starting point of their project is taken from the work, ‘A bruit secret” (With Hidden Noise) by Marcel Duchamp, New York, 1916.
The new audio-visual installation, UNVEILED PRESENCE (NYC), which has been developed for the exhibition in the artothek, Cologne, used sound recordings from 2006/2007 from inside the characteristic rooftop water towers of the metropolis of New York City, which are a distinctive feature of the skyline of the city. In the long-term project its initial form held great visual similarity to Marcel Duchamp’s readymade.
