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.

2014 – headphones – 50 min loop

This installation is based on two very familiar rituals of mine: cooking and recording sound. In berlinskejh model gallery, in Prague, it is usual to have the artist cooking for the audience.
Within a collective exhibition based on rituals and loops, i proposed myself to cook while my colleagues would install their pieces. With that said, i cooked a nice bulgur salad at the gallery and after a little editing, which as usual excludes human voices and sounds that do not belong to the action, i invited the audience to sit, eat and listen to the sound of that very same food being prepared, while they were eating it. It is important to think of what we eat and it is important to think of our audition sensibility too. To combine these two senses was very logical to me, for being two very dominant topics in my everyday life.
