„Assistance to Objects 2″ (2015 / 2017 / 2021). The installation with accompanying performance is currently on view in the exhibition “Out of Space” at the Hamburger Kunsthalle. It consists of massive, tube-like objects made of ceramic, each equipped with a subwoofer. Also on display are elements made of paper, foil and packaging materials. In the performance the objects start to vibrate through the use of very deep sine tones. The sound frequencies are outside the human hearing range, but can be felt. The ceramics begin to vibrate perceptibly. At the same time, I make the accessories made of lighter material resonate. I let styrofoam chips bounce on a loudspeaker membrane, stretch a large paper web over a second one, and place a cardboard disk on a third one. Just as the medial realms of sculpture, sound art, and performance resonate with their surrounding space. Photo Hamburger Kunsthalle © Fred Dott 2021
