LOLO & SOSAKU
Installations and sound-sculptures 

‘Our work runs along the edges, pushes them, blurs them, questions them’. Lolo & Sosaku. 
 
Lolo & Sosaku (Buenos Aires, 1977, and Tokyo, 1976) met in Barcelona in 2004. As artistic partners, they have collaborated in a wide variety of artistic expressions with an interest in exploring art experimentally to create new art forms.

Seekers of new possibilities in sculpture as an expanded field, their work is the outcome of an object’s relationship with its environment and with the spectator, an object that seeks friction and tension to explore the capacity to create new meanings. 
Thus, their works range between different artistic languages such as sculpture, installation, kinetic art and painting, and they often incorporate music and sound. Their modus operandi is to constitute themselves as a subject, and to reach transcendence, mysticism and the unknown based on their mechanical materiality.

Electronic music is undoubtedly the highlight of their inspiration, as a complex language translated into sound installations and sculptural compositions. Shapes, lines, materials and sounds come together in sculptures of movement that act by taking their own voice in a continuous, unpredictable transformation. By exploring many artistic horizons and redefining boundaries, their interest is the energy and hidden forces that guide life in our technological age.

Moreover, the self-awareness of the recipient, who is also a participant, and the experience of sound are characteristic of Lolo & Sosaku's works. They are an invitation to exploration based on subtlety.
