PLASTIC POETRY - EIN KLANGWESEN

plastic bags, two fans, two timer clocks

Plastic Poetry plays with the poetic interpretation of an ecologically questionable material. The installation consists of a plastic figure hanging from the ceiling and two fans that are switched on and off by two timers. The air currents cause the interconnected plastic bags to interact, creating various states of noise and crackle that can be heard. Viewers can move freely around and under the figure, getting their heads very close to the figure and listening to the different sound states. The moving figure when the fans are running is just as important as the collapsing and still figure when the fans are turned off.
