"Fontana's
sound environments renew our awareness of the places we inhabit and the
powerful role sound plays in both our sense of self and memory. Fontana's
work is predicated on a sophisticated investigation into how we perceive
sounds in the world.
He has created a series of compelling
projects that subtly treat the interplay between the origins of sounds and
the contexts in which we perceive them, causing the viewer to become conscious
of himself and his senses as he hears and perceives anew the world he inhabits"
