Haroon Mirza

DEPTFORD MARKET BY VERONICA KAVASS The role of “fillers” is to, amongst other things, avoid disorientation and dominating disruption. Fillers go unnoticed when they are in place and create havoc when they are missing. The filler is in the same family as the glitch—but they exist on opposite ends of the same field. Haroon Mirza’s work plays on this field, creating a marriage between elements that are typically regarded as incompatible and/or dangerous when combined: water and electricity, proper vintage furniture and fairy lights, Pachabel’s Canon and glitchy hypnotic beats. The fusion results in self-governing sound sculptures pumped to life by watery circulatory systems and elevated by Baroque ghosts.
