Still a life, 2004
Installation (fishing wire, contact microphone, amplifier, loudspeaker, paper fish)
text video
A large loudspeaker containing a paper fish is connected to an amplified fishing wire, which is stretched around the installation. The almost invisible limit is actually the point of interaction as any contact with the nylon wire generates sonic vibrations and animates the fish. Apparently, it is the audience who pulls the strings and the fish’s life which hangs by a thread. However, the wire being an interface is only a distraction from its ultimate function as a barrier, keeping the audience at a distance.
