The inspiration for the Soor project of Mirrounds came from a field recording at a storage reservoir, which proofs to be a perfect example of human intervention in a natural environment. Humans are influenced by the contrast of the raggedness of nature with the tight lines of structures built by humans themselves.
Soor invites the spectator to move around in this landscape where light, textile and sounds influence each other, and incites to pause and consider the impact of humans on our environment.
The projection affects the textile being its source of light, but is at the same time affected by the texture of the textile. Through projections on textile and a surreal soundscape, an art work of experience and discovery arises which aims to slow down time and incite the public to reflection.
A musical performance will take place. Musicians Thomas van Walle, Jonathan Lambert and Joost Van Duppen will enter in discussion with the soundscape and the textile installation.
The name ‘Soor’ comes from ‘Tunnel de la Soor’ which ends up in the storage lake.
