COD CONNECTION
A collaboration with a composer John A. Wilhite-Hannisdal, investigating the relationship between codfish and humans, focusing on symbiosis and life-cycles. Savinova and Wilhite-Hannisdal create a series of sound-sculpture installations, using fishing artefacts and cod sounds as raw material.
Wilhite-Hannisdal spent several years recording the mating calls of cod with Dr. Oomen in Arendal, Norway, and it is from these recordings that the sound installation is made. These are the first close up “studio” recordings of cod mating.
The installation is made from old fishing boats. Fishing activity artefacts, charged with energies of floating and drifting in the water, are intertwined with the images of fish bodies. The sound sources playing the recordings of codfish mating rituals are placed inside the sculptures.
