Ha Noi Windows
Is a large room filling installation work conceived and produced by Larry D'Attilio in 2006. It is a tubular floor to ceiling construction for a space 12 feet high and 12 by 20 ft floor area. The negative film photographs that are part of the structure are also by Larry.
Ha Noi Windows was designed to be a collaborative multi discipline or cross media work. Ha Noi painter, Le Huy Hoang travaled at night around Ha Noi pointing out and discussing with Larry scenes in the city he felt were his way to identify iconic life there. ASs they traveled Larry made photographs as a shared experience with Hoang's way of feeling and understanding his city. They also recorded street sounds with their own voices as they traveled.
U.S. Violinist Pamela Foard then worked with Ha Noi composer, Vu Nhat Tan, to create and record a sound track that intersected emotional acoustic ideas with the visual tensions in the structure and it's transparent hung images. The violin and street sounds were layered interactively
Finally the structure has fans to circulate air that blows the suspended transparencies around. With spotlights and white walls to the room, projected dreamlike versions of the images are seen moving about the walls.
Viewers can best enjoy the installation by walking through the structure so that their bodies can physically relate to the forms and sounds.
In addition to the sample photos also click on the one minute movie that shows the installations movements and includes the sound track.
