Speicher participatory 7-channel sound installation, tin cans, packing twine, threaded rods, loudspeaker, tin can telephone booth · Mayer&Schultz · 2023

​​

Visitors record a message through a tin can telephone, with one end inside the booth and the other in the exhibition space, where the message is recorded. Threaded rods attached to the cans and the walls are bowed with a bass bow, generating the sound for the composition. The recordings are then used in a walk-in sound installation.

Speicher was made with the writer Marie-Alice Schultz during a four-week studio residency and grew out of the phenomenon of the voice message.

For the second version, installed in an eighteenth-century brewery and its ice house, we worked with the recollections of people living in Döschnitz, specifically those connected to the building we were staying in.
