Attention Environments is part of ongoing research of the Anthropocene, with its materiality presented in junk, ‘abjected’ societal produce, abandoned pieces and found objects that were once made and experienced by people. These artifacts, sourced from the streets, thrift stores and junkyards become descriptive elements – ‘sounding’ micro-models of the world. In this sense, sculptures create a peculiar archive of the current time and people. Hybrid sculptures are context and time-specific pieces that get explored through the resonant feedback of materials and parts.

the2vvo is an artist duo based in Los Angeles, made up of Eldar Tagi (sound) and Lena Pozdnyakova (architecture, sculpture). Artists explore the complicated dynamics between the cultures and spaces, objects, and processes, by the means of sound, sculpting and live performance. Duo’s research takes a form of acoustic expressions, sculptures, and live audio-visual performances.
