Emmanouil (Manos) Saklas (b. 1998, Athens) is an artist working across contemporary art, radio productions and electro-acoustic music. His practice engages with cultural artifacts and compositional methodologies drawn from fields as diverse as conceptual art, greek mythology, electronic music, acoustic ecology, and weather-sensing technologies—underscoring their sociopolitical resonances.
In solo exhibition contexts, he often creates listening spaces with an emphasis to the physical manifestations of both environmental and synthetic material agencies. Far from merely interpreting the sonic, his visual works and writings feed into the audible part and are somewhat sonorous themselves. Akin to his nuanced sound pieces, they are often situated at the thresholds of perception, where sensory processes are being modulated, felt and observed.
Saklas' practice seeks to catch a glimpse of the imperceptible, not to exhaust and actualize it, like science, or purely conceptualize it, like philosophy, but by employing aesthetics to embrace the unseen flows, oscillations, and atmospheres that circulate us.
