Christian Marclay has spent decades collapsing the boundary between sound and image, treating both as a single perceptual experience. His new series at Gallery Koyanagi centers on listening itself, exploring how we receive and process sound through collage—a medium he uses like a DJ sampling music. The Concentric Listening works extract faces from magazines, removing their features to leave only hollow head outlines nested concentrically, like ripples spreading outward. In Eccentric Listening, individual ears—each distinct as a fingerprint—layer into collective structures.
