BABY GAMES

 

You don't see it. You just hear it. Behind the locked door and behind a milk glass: Little children are playing and having fun. A lot of fun! They laugh and jar of pleasure. They play with: high voltage and water, circular and chain saws, guns, weapons and drilling machines... It's a play with highly dangerous things and it happens... ...nothing?... ...yet?...

 

The soundscape is played from four different speakers in the room.  They are positioned perspectively and play the scenery with an authentic sound quality and loudness (a chain saw is very loud!). From outside the situation seems to be real. Highly dangerous - and you can not open the door...

ROOM 0.842

ROOM 0.842

 

The entrance to this air-raid shelter is locked with a fence. And the clearance between door frame and door leaf is very small. A blue light is shining out from the inside. You don't see inside the room but you hear what's happening inside. And what you hear is highly disturbing and frightening: ...kind of a robot cow machine?... ...a laboratory in which mutant cows work together with robots?... ...a robot slaughterhouse?....

 

A 2 channel sound and light installation with perspectively placed speakers.
