Silas Morrow
@ Motto Berlin
August 21, 8pm (sharp)

Silas Morrow is a sculptor, improviser, and noise artist from Seattle, Washington. Through a contemplative sculptural and sound practice he explores the memory of his grandmother’s spiritual devotion as well as his great aunt’s monastic home on the coast of Northern California. He makes use of found and gifted objects along with hand crafted wind instruments. Silas encourages items to interact through electronic amplification. 

His great aunt utilized labyrinths in her spiritual practice and constructed one in her yard which Silas would be directed to walk through when visiting.

Installation / Performance / Short Film.

A long immersion in Tokyo gave rise to this project, which began as a diary, a space to record fleeting impressions of the city. From this written practice emerged an object, then an installation, and finally, a performance.
Through the lens of Barthes’ Le Neutre, a short film shot on Super 8 intertwines with the diary and a philosophical lexicon exploring described gestures of Japanese savoir-vivre. What started as a personal exploration evolved into a shared sensibility, intimate, collective. By entering the installation, the artist invites you to share a part of this experience and intimacy. 
The installation includes the prototype of a lamp, which marked the beginning of her experimentation with washi paper and its potential at the scale of space and lightweight architecture. 

Please join us for the vernissage and live performance on Wednesday evening. 

Performance at 8pm and 9pm
