Since 2014 Danish sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard and classical singer and composer Katinka Fogh Vindelev have been collaborating on a number of various projects. The couple’s performative works reflect their relationship, and resonate in the colliding and sustained encounter of their voices, hearts or ears to a point, where the individual sound or body dissolve into something else.
Jacob is an artist and composer working in carefully selected environments to generate recordings that are used in compositions or combined with video imagery in visual, spatial installations. His works reveal unheard sonic phenomena and present listening as a means of experiencing the world. Kirkegaard has recorded sonic environments as different as subterranean geyser vibrations, empty rooms in Chernobyl, Arctic calving glaciers and tones generated by the human inner ear itself. Currently based in New York, Kirkegaard has presented his works at galleries, museums and concert spaces throughout the world, including MoMA in New York, Louisiana and ARoS in Denmark, KW in Berlin, The Menil Collection & the Rothko Chapel in Houston and at the Aichi Triennale in Nagoya, Japan.
