I need your help. Florina is a visual and sound archive, comprising about a hundred small paper notes, gleaned on the streets of various countries and written in different languages. To Kateryna Snizhko, these are more than mere images; they are artefacts that have inherited personalities and can therefore be interpreted differently. By collecting such fragments, she not only reclaims strangers’ memories but indeed the “energy” that emanates from her own discoveries, which she then wants to transcribe in a universal language. Inspired by the theories on the vibration of matter, she transforms the vibrations of the written words into sounds. Thus, she converts every letter into a carefully selected music note and builds a dialogue between the visual and verbal elements.
