From 15 to 23 September, at the Norfolk House Music Room of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the installation created by Clare Farrow and Eva Wood is on display, with the aim of bringing Avro Paart‘s work to life.

The idea of the two curators is based on a quote from the Estonian composer.

“I could compare my music to white light, which contains all colors. Only a prism can divide the colors and make them appear; this prism could be the spirit of the listener.”

The installation tries to give a body to Avro’s words through a transparent screen, representing the prism, made of acrylic perspex. Next, to this screen, a luxurious leather bench welcomes visitors who can sit and listen to the composer’s words through headphones.

Meanwhile, the music of Avro Paart resonates throughout the room, including Spiegel Im Spiegel, Für Alina, Silentium and Da Pacem Domine.

The installation, exhibited in conjunction with the London Design Festival, was commissioned to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Estonian state.
