“ … truth, whose mother is history, who is the rival of time, depository of deeds, witness of the past, example and lesson to the present, and warning to the future.”
Starting from these words from the writer Pierre Menard, the exhibition ‘untitled pixel black/white’ offers a glimpse on sound and soundless works by Martin Moolhuijsen whose main topic is non-linear time and its representation. The four works presented: variations on a theme by kazimir malevich, infinite jest, three tautautologies about mnemosyne and poems, range from sound sculpture to performative records, from poetry to performative QR Codes. Whether by trying to establish an hyper-textual form or by making the listeners lose themselves into the apparently concentric groves of a spinning record, time is never intended as a succession of events, but rather as missing gap that allows a simultaneity of non-events to happen.
