How can sound be made visible? This question is repeatedly asked in the practice of the artist Armin Lorenz Gerold (*1981 Graz, lives in Berlin). For the performance and installation Verstärkung (Amplification) (2021), a new work commissioned by HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark, Gerold created an audiovisual system of sculptures and flat monitors.

His multi-disciplinary practice, which can be fundamentally defined as an investigation of photography and sound, transforms classical exhibition contexts into acoustic landscapes. Gerold, whose formats also always establish points of reference to radio and streaming, allows his audience to immerse themselves into a meditative flow of language and sounds.
