Building as Amplifier
2020-2022
5 digital and analogue voice-recorders, organic and mixed media material, variable dimensions
The work is based on a diary that I kept while visiting a complex of abandoned industrial buildings in Uppland, Sweden. My visits started in October 2020 and spanned a year. The diary notes, together with photographs and drone footage, were then sent to my friend and artist Tan Kim who made a series of recordings in which a narrative unfolds: a person sending voice messages to their absent lover.
A work in progress presentation was made at Glitter Ball showroom and projects in Enköping, Sweden, on the 19th of March 2022.
