This installation was thought of for Gamu, in Prague.
It consisted of an omni-microphone amplifying the sounds from the other installations in the gallery, and playing them back to these little speakers attached to the aquarium. Then, inside the aquarium, there was a hydrophone which would amplify the sound inside through the water.

The recording lasts 30min and I will be glad to share it on a personal request. Headphones recommended.

The proposal is to think of listening as a casting, the choice of seeking a sound and the choice of finding it enclosed. It invites the audience to approach the act of listening in reciprocal way: to be the object and the subject, as in nature, within an aural situation that resembles our primary perception of the outside world (in the womb).

The audience could choose to play with the EQ filters in the mixer. For that reason… some people considered this piece an instrument itself. I thought of it as a filter, a reality filter, and a resemblance to our embryonic relation to sound. Somehow it is more comfortable to listen to the sounds in this gallery through the water than themselves. It’s personal and optional.
For the visual layer of it… again, a little bit of an echo of my animal-political values.
