Zimoun
Using simple and functional components, Zimoun builds architecturally-minded
platforms of sound. Exploring mechanical rhythm and flow in prepared
systems, his installations incorporate commonplace industrial objects.
In an obsessive display of curiously collected material, these works
articulate a tension between the orderly patterns of Modernism and
the chaotic forces of life. Carrying an emotional depth, the acoustic
hum of natural phenomena blends effortlessly with electric reverberation
in Zimoun's minimalist constructions.
Zimoun, born in Switzerland in 1977, autodidact, lives and works in
Bern. His work has been presented in solo and group shows as well
as performances in Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and South America.
He has been awarded different art prizes and residencies and has served
as a guest lecturer.
In
2003, Zimoun and graphic designer Marc Beekhuis founded Leeraum [
] - which has become a platform for creative exchange among artists,
designers, architects,... who explore forms and structures based on
reductive principles and careful yet radical use of materials. |
