about

Tystnaden is a sound piece which takes the movie The Silence by Ingmar Bergman as its starting point. The film centres on a miscommunication on multiple levels and deals with the difficulty of creating meanings or perhaps finding or determining meanings. In the mind of Bergman, God is silent as his previous film established, because there is no god in reality.

Tystnaden obliterates all the dialogues in the movie leaving only the fluctuating and unrecognisable noises and the human murmurs, sighs, snivels, loud chewing, shouts and hard swallowing, suggesting a regression to a state of arbitrary vocalisation. These sounds offer us little freedom of invention, yet they became deformed and exposed to many formal rules originating a shifting dialogue that has the confused and illogic appearance of life. With the loss of expressive language (a support), we are left to make do with the mystery that is reality. What remains to us, in the end, is only our own voice.

Caught between hopes and doubts Tystnaden carefully balances questions and paradoxes such as: If metaphysical questions are hopeless why do we keep asking them? Is God a clue to the travel and travails of truth rather than the truth of assertion?
