Sakamoto performed with Yuko Mohri in her exhibition Voluta at the Camden Arts Centre, London, UK.
The title of the exhibition – Voluta – refers to the spiralling shell of a sea snail and calls on multiple visual associations from sacred geometry, architectural ornamentation and the treble clef in musical notation. In two new sculptures from the eponymous series, recorded music is directed through lengths of cable draped into coils that translate musically-coded signals into electro-magnetic fields. Metallic objects and magnets are compelled by this force, creating subtle sounds as they tremble and move.
The performance was presented in association with 33:33 as part of 'MODE JAPAN | LONDON 2018,' curated by Ryuichi Sakamoto
