accoustic „portrait of a family“
Family members are asked to describe each other (appearance, character) and to tell stories about their relatives; each person is represented by a speaker hidden behind a black canvas giving the family position (father, first-born, daughter etc.)
The sound goes from one to the other loudspeaker and end up as a polyphonic sound mix.
Portraits of families so far:
- JEJU family
- YAKUT family
- GUARANI family
the plan is to continue this project; interested persons are most welcome to contact the artist
