Sie setzt Klänge in Symbiose mit Bild und Raum und schafft daraus begehbare Raumskulpturen. Mittels Audioaufnahmen dringt sie tief in die Materie der Wahrnehmung ein. Sie sagt, es sei wie ein „Hineinzoomen“ mit dem Mikrofon, um einen Mikro-Organismus hörbar zu machen. Solche O-Töne schält sie heraus und modifiziert sie bis zur Unkenntlichkeit. Besonders widmet sie sich sowohl der Konstruktion von Bildelementen als auch den Bewegungen und Anordnungen von akustischen Signalen im Raum. Der Künstlerin geht es um Wechselwirkungen zwischen akustischer und visueller Wahrnehmung. Beides bestimmt den Raum. Aus sich heraus entsteht ein Spannungsfeld. Der materielose Klang bekommt eine körperliche Erscheinung und erzeugt mit den skulpturalen Elementen synästhetische Situationen. Hieraus formen sich die Raumskulpturen. Jede Arbeit weist auf intermodale Qualitäten hin, auf Situationen, die zugleich Bild und Klang sind. Das akustisch-skulpturale Innenleben der Objekte und Installationen führt uns auf Reisen im multimedialen Raum, in dem alle Situationen wechselseitig aufeinander wirken. Erst durch die gleichwertige Zusammenführung der auditiven, visuellen und räumlichen Komponenten führt das Gesamte zum gewünschten Ziel – der Klangskulptur. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><p dir="ltr" class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; backface-visibility: hidden; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><font class="" face="Arial" color="#606060">Clara Oppel's works are situated at the interfaces between sound, space, installation, and sculpture. She combines sound into a symbiosis with image and space, so as to create spatial sculptures which can be walked around in. By means of audio recordings, she penetrates deep into the materiality of perception. “It's like zooming in,” she says, “but with the microphone, in order to make a microorganism audible.” Particles of original sound are extracted and modified to the point of becoming unrecognizable. She works in particular with the construction of visual elements, as well as with the movements and transformations of acoustic signals in space. The artist is concerned with the interactions between acoustic and visual perception. Both these factors determine the space in equal measure, and the give-and-take between them creates a field of dynamic tension. Immaterial sound acquires a physical appearance and, together with the sculptural elements, gives rise to synaesthetic situations. This formative interplay engenders the spatial sculptures.</font></p><p dir="ltr" class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; backface-visibility: hidden; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span class="" style="color: rgb(96, 96, 96); font-family: Arial;">Each work evinces intermodal qualities, situations which are at the same time both image and sound. The acoustic and sculptural inner life of the objects and installations takes us on journeys in multimedial space, where all situations have a reciprocal impact on each other. It is only through the amalgamation of these auditory, visual, and spatial components of equal value that the interrelated whole achieves the goal sought by the artist—the sound sculpture.</span></p></div><div class=""><font class="" color="#ff9300"><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><div class=""><b class="">BREATHING SPACE - CLARA OPPEL</b></div><div class=""><b class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><font class="" color="#606060">RAUM, KLANG, INSTALLATION UND SKULPTUR </font></b></div><div class=""><b class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><font class="" color="#606060">SPACE, SOUND, INSTALLATION AND SCULPTURE </font></b></div><div class=""><font class="" color="#606060"><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><span class="s-c1" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; backface-visibility: hidden; width: 257.25px; text-transform: uppercase;">ISBN</span><span class="s-c2" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; backface-visibility: hidden; width: 600.25px; padding-left: 5px;">978-3-903439-58-0</span></div><div class=""><b class=""><br class=""></b></div><div class=""><b class="">VERLAG FÜR MODERNE KUNST, WIEN</b></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.vfmk.org/books/clara-oppel-breathing-space" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.vfmk.org/books/clara-oppel-breathing-space</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.vfmk.org/news" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.vfmk.org/news</a></div></div><div class="">
