Prologue
In my last —and only—travel to Kyoto, where I visited some shinto shrines, I re-discover something lost in my own city: silence.
Our noisy lives —the reflection of our noisy egos— make us blind to the beauty, the revelation of silence.
With this site I'm trying to transmit the nearly mystical experience enbodied me in the middle of that zen stillness.
I hope I can.
Images
Pictures and photographs are visual forms of expression by nature, and obviously they have no sound. But synesthesia is a powerful mean to transmit the echo of silence, the beauty of quietness.
This is a galery of graphical silences.
(no)Sounds
It's paradoxical, but sometimes we need to hear the silence.
This phenomenon has seduced some artist across time, and a very well-known example is John Cage's 4'33'' (1952).
Like doctor Murke —from Heinrich Böll's Doctor Murke's silences (1958)—, I'm treasuring recorded silences.
