Yehud Yehud, Lost Frequency
Sound work by Amitai Mann (2025)

​

Created in the wake of war, a twelve minute sound piece composed of manually tuned shortwave radio noise, silence, static, and fragmented transmissions. It was conceived during a time of deep disconnection, when sirens filled the air but no messages came through, and radio became a primary source of contact with the outside world.

Rather than documenting a specific event, the piece reflects a state of human and emotional suspension. Using radio as both medium and metaphor, it explores themes of absence, uncertainty, and the longing for orientation in the midst of chaos.

The work is intended for headphone listening and plays in a continuous loop. It invites the listener into a fragile and intimate space between memory and confusion, faith and collapse, signal and silence.

​

The piece will premiere as part of the group exhibition “The Event is Over: Dialogical Gestures Within a Chaotic Reality” at Tarbut Gallery in Jerusalem. The exhibition opens on August 5, 2025 and will be on view for two months.
