RESONANCE
The secret beauty of visible sound
What if we could see sound? We would be immersed in amazing shapes drawn by sound waves in space. Thanks to Cymatics, we can go beyond the limits of our senses, and visualize the patterns created by an acoustic frequency on a fluid’s surface.
This photographic project is a tribute to the secret beauty of Nature by showing the fascinating shapes generated on water by natural objects’ sounds (both Earthly and astronomic), which draw in front of the camera’s lens the invisible symphony of reality.
Photography crosses new frontiers: with Resonance, it becomes a medium to live a particular sensory experience, through the representation of sound in the visual field. The invisible becomes image, and the image awakens the imagination.
For each natural subject that produces sounds, it was chosen the most emblematic shot, in which shape and colours recall the idea of the represented sound source. The photograph thus ends up arousing your perceptive imagination, making you visualize what you do not hear and hear what you do not see.
