Unbounded field deals with the transformation process of Mozart’s Symphony in A major (KV 201) into a gradually emerging abstract painting, realised in the form of an animated film. Moving graphic objects/traces are synaesthetically assigned to the parameters in the music in correspondence with agricultural processes and the resulting structuring and geometrisation of nature. Referring to the unstable character of music, that e.g. tones, motifs can always be rearranged in relation to the temporal dimension, the new, graphic “score” should also be able to reinvent, overlap and destroy itself again and again.
