Gouden Uur Houten Geluidssculptuur

A continuous dolly-in glides along a surreal wooden sound sculpture perched on a stone overlook above the sea, bathed in golden-hour light. The instrument twists upward in intersecting curves and blocky voids—planks of varying size, density, and color are embedded at odd angles across its looping form. Some beams curve like ribs, others jut out like cantilevers, each tuned to a specific pitch. A shallow depth of field holds focus tight on the textured wood and warm grain, while the beach and bay blur dreamily in the background. Two performers move around the structure with wooden mallets, striking low, thick planks for resonant thumps, making a consistent beat. The rhythm is musical and melodic, yet deeply grounded—like structured improvisation. Sunlight catches the edges of the sculpture’s curves, while a soft crowd gathers just out of focus. At 7.9 s, the performers land a final high-low accent, the wood ringing into the coastal air as the camera lingers on a glowing void in the sculpture’s core.
