proposal take 3
concept
TT - toast in transit proposes a sound installation in the
lounge area on the 11th floor of the EV building. The installation will illustrate the concept of detournement and transition. We want to give a banal "single purpose" object a new meaning by denaturing it into an absurd physical transitional space. A toaster will be diffusing immersive sounds from the subway environment.
By changing the task of the toaster, we want to charge it with a different meaning. The toaster is no longer just an object, it becomes a material representation of transition - the state of being in between places, or being between asleep and awake. We chose the toaster because it represents the transition from a state to another, and the subway because it represents the transition between two places.
The area chosen for this installation is also acting as a transitional space, since it is situated high, between the ground and the sky and also between a working area and a living room, high up on the 11th floor.
The diffused sound is caracterized by the omnipresence of machinery and ventilation sounds of different subway stations which are infinitely repeating and resonating.
We do see a parallel with the heat of the toaster, echoing inside the walls of the object. Furthermore, the final jump of the bread out of the toaster is comparable of getting off the subway.
