EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating snapshot of avant-garde cellist Charlotte Moorman engrossed in a rehearsal at 18 Carlton House Terrace, captured by the talented photographer Bela Zola. The year is 1968, and Moorman's unique sound effect concert is just around the corner. Standing beside her is her Korean assistant, Mr Nan June Paik, whose presence adds an air of collaboration and cultural fusion to this artistic endeavor. Moorman's repertoire of unconventional instruments and objects for creating mesmerizing sounds is nothing short of extraordinary. From gongs to chains, bottles to empty beer cans, plate glass to dustbin lids - she fearlessly explores every sonic possibility. Her collection also includes electric light bulbs, a full coca cola bottle, an axe, door and Indian bells; even butter for sizzling finds its place among these eclectic tools. However, one item still eludes her grasp - the casing of a 100 lb bomb. Undeterred by societal norms or expectations, Moorman pushes boundaries with her audacious choices. She seamlessly incorporates taped and recorded sounds along with unexpected elements like toy guns and masks into her performances. This photograph immortalizes Moorman's dedication to pushing musical boundaries as she rehearses alongside her beloved instrument: the cello. With each note played or manipulated through amplifiers and recorded sound effects – even incorporating the mating call of a duck – she captivates audiences with an unparalleled sensory experience. Bela Zola skillfully captures this moment in time when artistry meets
