“When approaching the sound design for STEM Passion, I instinctively felt I had to give Elisabetta Citterio’s portraits a voice, thereby enhancing and expanding the ‘photographic gesture’.
I thought it would be emblematic to ask these scientists to ‘declare their passion’ for science through a short voice message in their native languages. As soon as I received these messages, I decided to integrate them into STEM passion’s sound design as part of the installation.
The architecture of the exhibition spaces, their minimalism and visual cleanness inspired and guided me in composing and creating clean and minimal soundscapes.
I made room for the voices of these women and their passion for science, highlighting these ‘sonic snapshots’, as fragments of a world that needs and deserves to be fully unveiled”.
