Toxoplasmatic ectoplasmata - softening no. 2 (2022)


How to soften the piano? how to soften the sedimented?

Within this intervention Western instrument of music are considered as dangerous sites, that are both contagious and parasitic (hence they should be approached with great caution).

Disinfecting the instrument as an act upon the question of Toxoplasmatic ectoplasma embedded within the exoskeleton-like instrument. What to do with that ghost like matter? active in the past as well as the present.


This project investigates Western musical instruments as being critical and even dangerous sites that should be approached with the greatest caution; as loaded interfaces - not only between mechanical movement and the production of sound, between phantasms and physical reality, but also as contaminated places that should be treated as as such.
