A double-screen video installation composed of two alternating segments —each performed and filmed in churches designed by Sigurd Lewerentz: St. Mark’s in Stockholm and St. Peter’s in Klippan —The Silence considers the relationship between architecture, music, sound and the immaterial. Longer caption: The Silence (2022) considers the relationship between architecture, music, sound and the immaterial. A double-screen video installation composed of two alternating segments— each performed and filmed in two churches designed by the Swedish modernist architect Sigurd Lewerentz late in life: St. Mark’s in Stockholm and St. Peter’s in Klippan. The Silence behaves much like a two-sided vinyl album—with each “side”, or video projection, performing a musical score based on the unique brick-patterned walls of the buildings, and played by the distinctive church organs Lewerentz designed for each space. The uncanny similarity between Lewerentz’s brickwork and player piano scores—paper rolls dotted with patterns of small, perforated absences that generate ghostly “self-playing” music—alludes to larger existential questions of presence and absence, sound and silence, that often guide or contravene spiritual life, and thus imbue ‘The Church’ as a unique architectural space wherein such inquiries take shape.
