The kinetic sound-sculpture “Cold rolled steel sheet exposing/…” is both situated in the room but also a room in itself. A closed entity. In this work I examine whether the trembling sound and appearance could modify the bodily experienced room. And if so, in what way? I use the machinery to question it´s own physical qualities; what is this steel sheet, this construction and machine able to perform?
”Cold rolled steel sheet exposing/…” originally started out as a site-specific object in the project (x)sites Kattegattleden 2018 (read more). However, over time I´ve started to consider it more as an instrument and as such, starting to compose different soundart pieces. Thereby also transferring it from an outdoor specific public site to more of a gallery context. It rises questions about how to present it as well as how to deal with the new sonic surrounding.
