إستعداد (sacred disposition) by Ãssia Ghendir is a sound installation presented at PARABOL, the sound shower located in the foyer of Kunsthall 3,14. The work is an assemblage of previously released works based on field recordings made in the Algerian Sahara, alongside broader North African geological recordings. The installation listens to geological surfaces as sonic matter, where vibration and erosion shape a field of attention. It acts as an invitation to listen closely, where voice becomes a way of encountering land, body, and memory.
Ãssia Ghendir is a vocalist, and researcher working at the convergence of voice, movement, geology and sound.
First-generation in the Algerian diaspora, they approach voice where language breaks, while Rocks and Sand are carriers of trace, holding fragmented and unspoken histories within their materiality. They work with field recordings, improvisation, non-verbal, somatic expression, and ancestry across North African contexts.
The sonic works presented at PARABOL are curated by Lydgalleriet on invitation from Kunsthall 3,14, with the intention of reflecting the always relevant exhibition themes presented upstairs.
