… and the music keeps on playing on and on …

As a student I had made it my habit not to turn off the music when I left the apartment but the album I was listening to had not yet come to an end. To me it seemed disrespectful towards the music to just turn it off. What was brought into oscillation should be allowed to finish. On the creation of "Small Places", a sound installation for ECM Records‘ 50th anniversary as part of the RE:ECM exhibition at Storage by Hyundai Card in Seoul, Korea, 2019.

K5 International in Cannes

Buyers wait for their appointment with the sellers. For the waiting time a cozy lounge was installed in which the guests could inform themselves on ipads about the K5 film program.

I translated the perspectives of the stage design into different sound levels and perspectives.
