Conversation with Sung Tieu, "Sound of Ghosts"

Podcast

As one of the artists interweaving sound and images on an equal footing in their video installations, Sung Tieu is participating in the upcoming group exhibition, Magical Soup. Media Art from the Nationalgalerie Collection, the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection im Hamburger Bahnhof and Loans. 

In the context of her multimedia, multi-channel work No Gods, No Masters (2017), exhibited at the Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart from September, Sung Tieu discusses with the exhibition’s curator Anna-Catharina Gebbers how she captures field recordings, sound rituals and the sound of ghosts. Sung Tieu’s work is based on intuitive research into personal, socio-political and historical narratives which she makes tangible in cool and sometimes emotionally charged visual spaces combined with ordinary sounding and yet, at the same time, threatening soundscapes.
