The Velocity of Lovesound installation
curated by Caterina Tomeo
2021





Some dimensions cannot follow the temporal dynamics of work and commerce. Loving, praying, learning, meditating, and educating, are some of the actions that require patience and care, all of which can be traced back to a more general concept of relationship. A relationship is a continuous and slow energy exchange, like cooking a meal in a pot over a low flame. The Velocity of Love is a sound installation that allows each user to interact with a gas cooker as if they were cooking. No heat will be emitted but sounds from the speakers that replace the cooker. The sounds are recordings of rituals, prayers, songs of gathering, and recall, combined with the sounds of a dish being cooked.
