Which was the first time you felt your fascination for it and the need to explore its possibilities? </font></font><br>Probably the earliest very clear memory about sound I have was this furnace room at my grandparents' place. An old oil heater, a big machine which had its own personality somehow. I was passing by this room very often when playing outside. Apart from this huge machine as an object, it was also very exciting in there related to the sound and smell. The heater was working and making an intense drone – deep, dark and very, very physical. A massive sound - the whole space was vibrating. After a phase, the heater turned off and the hot machine slowly cooled down. In doing so it produced many tiny clicking sounds (since the materials were changing temperature) which reflected off all around the walls in this small room – it was super beautiful and a fantastic contrast to the strong drone produced during the heating process. For me different interests are coming together in my work somehow and sound is one of them for sure. There's also an interest in simplicity in general, in reductive methods and systems. In aesthetics, materials and its properties. In an activation, creation or transformation of space and architecture. And in somehow "living" behaviors, like those moments when the old heater I spoke about got a personality, when it turned into a "somebody". Yeah really, when it turned into a fat, massive somebody!

Do you construct your installations inspired by a certain sonar element or do you experiment with materials in order to see the kind of sounds they make?</font></font><br>Often it's a mix out of different things. It can start with a specific space that I am invited to present in, thinking about the possibilities of how to work with the space, how to use it either as a body for a new creation or as an element of it. What kind of piece could make sense in relation to that particular situation. Next to the concrete situations there are often small ideas waiting in the pipeline somewhere. For example, working with a specific material or a specific kind of prepared motor, or a physical movement, behavior or sound. Or ideas of how a space could be activated. Somehow many ideas often buzz around at the same time, from this I start to pick out small, single elements that seem to be interesting in relation to the specific situation. I begin making experiments and prototypes... Through the process of physical tests, things become more concrete and comprehensible; I start to see what could work and where the problems are hidden. Often each little step is somehow vital in order to build the next one and to optimize performance, to work out idea and materials, along the way. Through prototyping sometimes totally unexpected results show up and can influence the whole process as well.<br><br><img alt="" height="402" src="http://www.yatzer.com/assets/Article/2664/images/the-sound-sculptures-of-zimoun-yatzer-7.jpg" width="714" style="cursor: move; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; display: block; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 10px; "></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#5a5a5a" style="font-size: 12px; "><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">30'000 plastic bags, 16 ventilators<br>Zimoun 2010<br>Photography by Zimoun ©<br>All rights reserved</font></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana, sans-serif"><iframe height="402" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/9187772?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="714"></iframe></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#5a5a5a" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px; "><font size="4"><font color="#806c54">In my opinion, you have a very personal way to create poetry through repetition, to surprise through an imaginative use of simple elements and trap people with an extraordinary use of space and sound.

That way they function more like a code behind things, rather than just creating one connection to one thing. In this way, the works can activate the visitors and allow them to make their own connections, associations and discoveries on different, individual levels. For that reason, I also keep the titles very abstract, only describing the used materials. I create those works based on many different interests coming together and I see them in many different ways myself too. Subjectivity is the base of how we see, understand and don't understand the world we are living in. While exploring my works, the viewer starts to play an important and creative part as well somehow. Great thoughts about a piece show an activity of an interesting person. So the reactions, in general, are very individual.<br><br><img alt="" height="402" src="http://www.yatzer.com/assets/Article/2664/images/the-sound-sculptures-of-zimoun-yatzer-6.jpg" width="714" style="cursor: move; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; display: block; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 10px; "></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#5a5a5a" style="font-size: 12px; "><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">361 prepared dc-motors, filler wire 1.0mm<br>Zimoun 2010<br>Photography by Zimoun ©<br>All rights reserved</font></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana, sans-serif"><iframe height="402" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/12423386?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="714"></iframe></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#5a5a5a" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px; "><font color="#806c54"><font size="4">I understand that many of your works are results of deep technological know how.

It's more a playful use of mechanics to explore this kind of things than a technological one. I also don't really have a deeper technological know how myself.

My favorite sonar experience is definitely being able to hear (and to listen) in general.<br><br><img alt="" height="401" src="http://www.yatzer.com/assets/Article/2664/images/the-sound-sculptures-of-zimoun-yatzer-11.jpg" width="714" style="cursor: move; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; display: block; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 10px; "></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#5a5a5a" style="font-size: 12px; "><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">24 sound contributions in automat<br>Zimoun 2005<br>Photography by Zimoun ©<br>All rights reserved</font></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana, sans-serif"><iframe height="402" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/6190986?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="714"></iframe></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#5a5a5a" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px; "><font color="#806c54"><font size="4">Tell us something about your <a href="http://leerraum.ch/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(246, 14, 139); text-decoration: none; ">Leerraum [ ]</a> project.

On the one hand, the project tries to build up a network of people working in related fields, with related concepts, with similar attitudes. For example, there can be an interesting common ground for an architect, a musician and an installation artist. But also different points of view and different methods of seeking solutions. So, the desire is to create a pool to exchange visions, knowledge, information and ideas in general. On the other hand, it's also about a curated platform and archive (physical and digital) for small objects, releases and ideas. For example, as you already mentioned, multi channel sound installations on DVD.<br><br><img alt="" height="401" src="http://www.yatzer.com/assets/Article/2664/images/the-sound-sculptures-of-zimoun-yatzer-10.jpg" width="714" style="cursor: move; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; display: block; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 10px; "></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#5a5a5a" style="font-size: 12px; "><font face="Verdana, sans-serif" size="2">25 woodworms, wood, microphone, sound system<br>Zimoun 2009<br>Photography by Zimoun ©<br>All rights reserved</font></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana, sans-serif"><iframe height="402" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/6191050?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="714"></iframe></font></div></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#5a5a5a" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px; "><font color="#806c54"><font size="4">What are your future plans?
