Description

Drawing inspiration from Georges Perec’s Things, this music and visual art performance creates a hybrid environment in which sound, objects, and storytelling come together to explore desire, consumption, and contemporary everyday life. At the center of the installation are elements of an imaginary apartment, unfolding through repeated objects, vivid colors, posters, sculptural forms, and projections, evoking the aesthetics of pop culture and the logic of consumerism. The music, structured in three parts, follows the temporal and emotional journey of the characters, employing electroacoustic media and hybrid compositional practices that reshape the perception of time. The performer acts as a live guide within the space, activating personal stories and testimonies connected to cherished objects, transforming the installation into a reflective and deeply human environment of shared experience. At the same time, repetition and excess function as a commentary on contemporary consumer habits. The work seeks to create a space of identification, memory, and collective reflection.
