Loss ~ Sauda was a sound-driven multidisciplinary experience, conceived as a meditative and introspective environment. Presented by Unfolded Memories at Acud Galerie on 8.10.20. Simone Antonioni, Kate Chen, FluxGeist and Frank Wang drove us in a suspended, sonic space of uncomfortable intimacy with four different performances: Loss, Elegy, Neverborn & Sauda.
ABOUT
The music is all original material composed by Simone Antonioni and features isolated melodies, stolen dialogues, personal notes, as well as music released on Verlag in 2020 and unreleased material recorded between 2017 β 2020. Fashion plays a role in Unfolded Memories visions, which is encapsulated in the still melancholy of cold manufactured beauty and in the staging of aesthetic gestures.
