proposal_sound installation
concept:
TT - toast in transit proposes a sight specific sound installation in the
lounge area on the 11th floor of the EV building. It is based on the concept of detournement and transition. We want to give a banal one purpose object a new symbolic meaning by denaturazing it into an absurd physical transitional space. A toaster will be diffusing sounds from immersive subway environments.
A banal object, the toaster is given the task to play sound instead of toasting bread and therefore its original purpose is changed. We want it to physically represent a state of transition by feeding it with sound from a subway space.
The toaster is no longer just an object, it becomes a material representation of transition - the state of being in between ( spaces); semi-awake. The space choses for this installation is also acting as a transition space, since it is high in the air on the 11th floor, inbetween ground and space
( clouds) and also inbetween a working area and a living room.
The diffused sound is caracterized by the omnipresence of machinery and ventilation sounds of different subway stations which are infinitely echoing.
We do see a parallel between the heat of the toaster, inside the object and the running of the machines and ventilations of the subway. Furthermore the final shoot of the bread out of the toaster is comparable when getting off the subway.
