Twilight

Performance Biennale - BP.15, Argentina.
Buenos Aires, Argentina

A fully lit light bulb hangs in the corner of a room at ceiling level. Through a metal wire, it descends towards the opposite diagonal at floor level, while a musician plays a piece by rubbing the rims of tuned crystal glasses, using all the notes these objects produce. As the bulb moves forward, the light gets dimmer and fades out.
But the light is not the only thing that vanishes away. During the performance, the musician ceases to play certain notes as they start resonating in a different angle of the room, where there is a speaker. After twenty minutes, the light bulb goes out completely and visitors may listen to the overlapping of all these sustained sounds that the musician has stopped emitting, in complete darkness.
In Twilight, music evolves into sound as light becomes darkness.

Interpreter: Miguel Rausch
