Sabulation

Sabulation (AL Azif) is created from video and sound recordings of the ‘Singing Sands’ and 'Booming Dunes' in the deserts of Oman, one of the few places in the world where the shifting sand dunes emit deep tones. The sounds were captured using vibration sensors buried inside the dunes.

Sound and video installation. 30-minute sound composition from field recordings and black-and-white video footage, looped. First shown at Aichi Triennale, Nagoya, Japan, 2010. DVD/book release on mAtter, (Japan 2016)
