Rhythmic LANE seeks inspiration from the romantic linkage between sound and architecture in an abandoned village school. The collective memory centres around the rhythm of the school bell hit manually on a metal gas tank on a tree. This sound which marks the schedule of classes and recesses is deeply imprinted in the local community’s heart. It is a shared memory across generations of four local villages and the fisherman community. The installation is an alchemy of a bench and a xylophone.
