Sap Sonic

The CAUL

Year: 2025

Location: Culterium Artis in Residence (Berlin)

Duration: 30 min (16-min loop excerpt)

Medium: 4.1ch speaker system, raw garbage, contact mic, contact speaker, mirror, aquarium


INSTALLATION

The 16-minute looped composition consists of soundscapes collected from the surrounding area, mixed in real time with sounds captured from insects and microorganisms circulating in organic waste produced during the residency. These sounds are composed, processed, and restructured into a new musical work, presented in a multi-channel audio environment alongside physical and organic materials. Berlin,5th, July, 2025. 


CONCEPT

Given this studio and engaging in a dialogue with the space, I began to feel a nostalgia akin to being in my mother’s womb. In this space, where light and wind move so beautifully, I sensed a beauty akin to prayer. I quickly decided that this installation would take life, prayer, time, cycles, and a touch of irony as its themes.

The title “The Caul”　refers to the thin membrane that envelops and protects the head and life of a newborn at birth.Time, in its essence, is not a sequence that flows in a single direction, but something like a projector, displaying infinitely divided fragments. In this sense, time is always circulating. Eternally.If we attempt to mark the end of life, that is what we call death. But if we once sever the chain of recognition, we can immediately surrender ourselves to the endless cycle. We are born, we die, and we are born again, in every moment. Perhaps the act of prayer, at its core, functions as a dissolution of our usual perception of time.
