Perri Lynch, Lara Swimmer, and Robert Zimmer | CARTASONIC
April 6 – June 8, 2012
CARTASONIC combines field recording, projection, and montage to convey the layered architectural history of Civita di Bagnoregio, a remote Italian hill town.Through “built” images and field recordings, this work maps the evolution of a town and its steadfast presence in a shifting landscape.
In 2010, Seattle-based artists Perri Lynch and the collaborative team of Lara Swimmer and Robert Zimmer were awarded fellowships by the Northwest Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in Italy. Perri’s fellowship was devoted to field recording, while Lara and Robert documented the built environment and periphery landscapes. In fusing these disparate perspectives, one is immersed in a mysterious, ancient, and ultimately unknowable place.
