Large Sound Form

My working material are sounds and speakers. Out of a large number of different types and forms of speaker a wall work is created, which extends as a partial segment of a circle from the floor over almost the entire height and surface of the wall.

All speakers hang in an open arrangement, above, beside and below each other. The variety of construction forms appear infinite, yet artificial in their manifestations. In the now stripped and not built - in form, the speakers look like very special sound generators, as if each membrane was designed for the reproduction of a special and rare sound - for example, this one for a crackling of wax paper, this one for the sound of trickling sand on a tin plate and yet another for the crackling of a vinyl record.

And then there are the sounds that I invented, which are writable but conceptless. All these noises - for each speaker a different one and exactly related to each other like a big round field of sound - form a composed cosmos of sound.
