The Color Of Sound
Project type
Video
Location
Iran, India, Germany, Italy
The Color of Sound is an immersive 7-part video that explores the profound impact of sound on both personal and collective levels. Told entirely through sound and about sound, the project invites audiences into a heightened state of listening—where sound is not just heard but deeply felt, shaping emotions, memories, and identities.
Structured as a seven-day journey, each video corresponds to a day of the week and the celestial body historically associated with it. From the rhythmic pulse of Monday’s Moon to the fiery resonance of Mars on Tuesday, each segment captures the vibrational essence of planetary influence, guiding the audience through an intentional practice of listening.
Shot across Iran, Germany, India, and Italy, the series weaves together the sonic landscapes of different cultures—voices, echoes, rituals, and silences—revealing how sound defines space, connects people, and alters perception. It is a meditation on how sound surrounds us in 360 degrees, shaping our experiences and existence in ways we often overlook.
Through this journey, The Color of Sound asks: What happens when we truly listen? How does sound shape our inner and outer worlds? And in an era of noise, how do we reclaim the art of listening?
