subject unknown - iteration II (2022)

Sound installation, drawing paper

fühle den Stift in meiner Hand

sehe den Strich auf dem Papier

höre mich zeichnen

Doch, was zeichne ich auf?

höre den Strich auf dem Papier

sehe den Stift in meiner Hand

fühle meine Bewegungen

Doch, was bewegt mich?

bewege meinen Körper

höre andere Körper

sehe meine Zeichnung

zeichne, was ich höre

Doch, können auch Sie es hören?

sound installation in wide staircase with drawings

The paper segments hanging in the room are each filled with small, quickly drawn lines in different densities. The sounds created while drawing are played back via the mobile from small speakers. Other transducers distributed around the room reproduce sounds that have a similar complex texture - some of these are digitally created as artifacts of audio effects, others are, for example, recordings of bubbling water. The sonic level of the installation poses the question of a shared chaotic energy from which the seemingly arbitrary drawings emerge. The almost automatic drawing process is therefore not viewed as a conscious, careful decision by a subject, but rather as a resonance with the chaotic rhythms of the world of which the artist is also a part.
