Abstract
This paper conducts a practical exploration of the application of sound elements in sculptural installations. By integrating theories of sound art with the developmental trajectory of contemporary sculptural installation art, it analyzes the formal composition and artistic language of sound-installation combinations, while delving into the unique value of sound elements in artistic creation and their inspiration and guidance for the author's own work. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this research synthesizes Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology of bodily perception, Norberg-Schulz's theory of genius loci, contemporary affect studies, and sound art theory to construct a four-dimensional analytical framework. This framework examines how the interaction between sculpture and sound can evoke affective resonance. With a particular focus on "nostalgia" as a specific affective modality, the study employs dual pathways of theoretical inquiry and artistic practice to reveal the generative mechanisms and realization methods of artistic media in forging emotional connections. This fusion of sound and sculpture opens new possibilities for conceptual expression and multisensory art experiences. Finally, the paper reflects on how sound elements in sculptural installations have influenced the author's creative approach, concluding with practical insights and future directions for the field.
