Berlin
Fabio Perletta (b. 1984) is a sound/installation artist and curator living and working in Berlin, Germany. He creates immersive auditory fields which engage listeners to experience intimate and meditative states. He uses sound as a vehicle for conceptual investigation and sensorial stimulation, exploring the intersection between different yet complementary areas such as science, psychology and human perception. Through an extensive study of Zen practices and quantum physics’ theories, he combines notions of minimalism/limit, presence, entropy and visible/invisible. His research delves into the inter-relationship between noise and silence, revealing a complex approach to the sound matter.
Through live performances, sound diffusions, sound/light installations and audiovisual concerts, his works have been exhibited worldwide at festivals and art spaces including A×S / ak-sis / Festival 2014: Curiosity (Pasadena, US), BlueProject Foundation (Barcelona, ES), Museum of Modern Art — Lab3 (Medellín, CO), SoundFjord Gallery (London, UK), Café OTO (London, UK), O’ (Milan, IT), Kid Ailack Art Hall (Tokyo, JP), Kissa Sakaiki (Tokyo, JP), 90dB Festival (Rome, IT), E-fest Cultures Numériques (La Marsa, TN), Flussi Festival (Avellino, IT), roBOt Festival (Bologna, IT), Acusmatiq Festival (Ancona, IT), Krake Festival (Berlin, DE), Auditorium Parco della Musica (Rome, IT).
