PABELLÓN EVIDENTE

JORGE RAMIREZ - MEDIA ARTIST
  • Materials: adobe, wood, electronic devices, speakers, contact microphones
  • Year: 2015
  • Size: 12m x 2.5m x 18m






This is a Pavilion of primal materials and sound, divides a courtyard by means of two adobe walls creating a route and modifying the acoustic properties of the place.

In its outer skin, the walls carry a series of spines with acoustic functions that create tension in space and work in turn giving balance, structuring weights and forces. In the interior, it houses a route for only one person, introspective and personal, the environmental acoustics are accentuated by means of a special system of microphones and loudspeakers, amplifying the environmental sound from the thorns to its center. A corridor of material nostalgia and acoustic sensitivity.

Ambivalent and contradictory, Pabellón Evidente maintains an aggressiveness towards the public space and poses with a certain inner peace. At the same time, massive and delicate, it is self-destructive: rain and time will wear out its adobe body until it completely destroys itself.
