Dia Agradavel by Cassandrea Xavier A photo from a current installation project. The physical installation, which takes place in a dark room, consists of a photographic still image from this scene displayed in a lightbox at one end of the room. Within the room 3 different sounds play, all overlapping each other but coming from different sides of the room. Depending on where the viewer is standing, they hear one noise more heavily than the other two, and whichever noise they hear will manipulate how they view and connote the image emotionally: to stand near the sound of waves crashing gives the piece a naturally, soothing feeling; to stand by the sound of fire crackling gives the piece a sinister, apocalyptic connotation; standing where the choral folklore song “Sweet Day” by Ralph Vaughn Williams is playing gives the image a transcendental, religious motif (the song itself depicts the tale of those in nature that are beautiful but must eventually die). The project is about expanding the practice of imagery beyond something static and one-dimensional. -- source link
