ABOUT EXURBAN:
EXurban is a collaboration between two female artists: adamned.age [:aa:] and die minimalistin .
"With the project "EXurban" we began to deal with the photographic/visual realisation of experimental contents and ex-urban rooms and abandonment as basis for our musical soundscapes.
The most important aspect is the audiovisuality reference in our works.
We are associating our impressions of forgotten places (e.g. abandoned hospitals or factories) with multiple media, for example music, photography and film, and recording real-sound from those places to bring such noises and "silence"-sounds into one, comprehensible media to share this and to present our emotions and pictures in our minds.
Abstract, irreal and fantastic feelings out of the "real state of things".
We are planning performances with visual projections of photography and experimental film, (maybe in such abandoned rooms and places) with improvision of experimental music consistent with the visual work.
We are always at the beginning of our experiment and this experiment never ends."
REVIEW ABOUT EXURBAN (by Jose Luis aka Gift of Vision):
"this both artist bring more than an empty space composition cliche, actually they discover a forgotten world, a world that is there but nobody notices it anymore... or anybody wants to notice. and it is because watching the slideshow, it inmediately takes you to a walk tru the corridors, the rooms and halls. And the questions come to surface in a second? what happened here? what kind of people was attended in this room? it was a injuried soldier? a happy pregnant mother giving birth? an old man waiting for the last breath of his life?
While the walk continues on every picture, a feeling of sadness, solitude, forgotten, depressive and nostalgic when the sun tries in vain to warm these rooms, and a mistery around it is overpassing the eyes, mind and hearth of the expectator, but... stop walking is not a choice. at the same time thousands of questions will remain with no answer: why this place is not used anymore? why they dont just tear it down and build a new thing? does anybody cares about this place? all that dust, rusty, broken windows and wide empty spaces just remain quiet with memories of echoes, voices and situations that happened there and no one will tell.
I loved it, yes, this travel took me to the basement of my own personal ghosts and took me back to reality, I would recommend to everyone to have this travel and find their own basements without the classical gothic way for personal suffering: just real places, real pictures and the real noises in your head.
I will be waiting for the next walk."
