Live River Stream, 2019
Sound installation at the Rhein riverside


One voice reading a poem plays back from a swimming speaker hanging at the end of a fishing rod. One hydrophone installed inside the water catches the fragmented voice among the interventions of underwater noises such as a boat engine passing by, some squeaking of mysterious metal structures, and the flappy, slapping duck feet. The sounds that the hydrophone catches deliver to the spectators at the riverside live. The spectator can read the poem on the railing, comparing what they hear simultaneously.
