Family


2014

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
