Sound Constructions is a collaborative collective between Nina C. Young, Anne Leilehua Lanzilotti, and Senem Pirler, who together create ephemeral site-specific performative sculptures.

The first site-specific work originally created on and for the Montalvo Arts Center in June 2018, in collaboration with Art Forum. Using a combination of found objects from the grounds and sound sculptures built from industrial materials, mobile sculptures invite interplay, and are connected with contact microphones, cameras, video projectors, and a network of speakers. By choosing specific found objects, we amplify certain sounds that normally might not be heard. The installation is an exploration of these objects and presence, asking: How does taking things out of their natural environment create tension? With closeness of both the visual projections and style of amplification, are we actually closer to the objects and/or each other? As we have collected these things in order to build an environment, how do we touch them, give them focus, and ultimately let them go?
