Installation with 5-channel sound composition
(50 min loop)
Size variable

Five glass plates hang on the walls of a room with the help of steel rails – on the panes are sound exciters. Impulsively, sound expands from them. Sometimes it is barely audible, but then it bundles into intense soundscapes and stands loudly in the room, before the volume decreases again or the sound abruptly breaks off. Next to the sound objects, there are galvanized steel ladders on the walls. Over one of the rungs hangs an artificial fur coat – on the floor stand black rubber boots. Between two bench elements, another ladder is held in place by a tension belt. Bat houses and nesting boxes for swallows are stacked on a pallet on the floor. A space for imagined choreographies of absent living bodies.
