Soundmaps / Prague Threads
Michal Kindernay
I draw on the sound map of the city. Silently, along quiet places. Quickly, over the loud and shrill. I divide sound drawings into those that are intertwined threads and those that are indicated by traces. The threads are not linear; I hear them in roots, rhizomes, urban mycelium. Traces are on every step, they form urban structures; they trace the streets, quarters and housing estates. I hear their calm zones and also the noise barriers. I search for shortcuts from the system, how not to collide with the sound veins of the city, how to penetrate the organic structure. As a walker / urban hunter during the tracking the quietude / an animal, I search for easily overlooked imprints of sounds in the urban noise and the colors of the endangered sound spectrums.
