Cars Choir  25-30. juli 2021 
​Bilkyrkogården, Kyrkö Mosse, Värendsgatan,
Ryd, Sverige.

 
Vibrations, cars, nature …
​​ A Three-dimensional Sound Art Experience
 A sense of dwelling in lifelong reverberation that is slowly fading out served as inspiration for this acusmatic sound installation. For years, the very particular atmosphere at Bilkyrkogården outside Ryd in Sweden has captivated me. Fundings by Statens Kunstfond, Denmark made Cars Choir possible. The installation consists of 10 specially designed vibrational loudspeaker units which serve to convert the cars into loudspeaker cabinets.

Commissioned by the Danish Arts Foundation for the 58th Venice Biennale, Monument for Lost Time takes a psychological object from In Vitro's fiction and converts it to a physically imposing fact. The sphere is painted in Black 2.0, a shade so black that no light is reflected. This turns the sphere into an optical illusion, rendering it virtually absent, yet at the same time intimidatingly present and overwhelming, as an embodiment of inherited trauma.

The floors are concrete, with interspersed tiles manufactured by a Anan Tiles in Nablus, creating an architectural intervention. The walls are light grey, and a soundscape based on low frequency vibrations plays as a backdrop.

Commissioned by the Danish Arts Foundation for the 58th Venice Biennale, In Vitro, is a 2-channel Arabic-language sci-fi film filmed in black and white. It is set in the aftermath of an eco-disaster. An abandoned nuclear reactor under the biblical town of Bethlehem has been converted into an enormous orchard. Using heirloom seeds collected in the final days before the apocalypse, a group of scientists are preparing to replant the soil above.
