Alejandra Salinas & Aeron Bergman: Pop, Aah, Thump Thump
Struer Tracks, 2017
Alejandra & Aeron have made posters taking a departure in onomatopoeia, which is a description for words that sounds like what they mean. The artwork contains three sound words creating a minimal narrative “Pop” (a bursting bobble), “Ahh” (a reaction) and heartbeats. The sound words are translated into the most common languages you will hear in Struer. You can find the posters in different places around the city.
