devour
with leh-wei liao
basis
at the beginning there was tristan marie trotz’s wish for an interactive exhibition concept, which should not only work visually, and leh-wei liao’s abstract narrative.
narrative
a house and a child are connected by an umbilical cord. the house collapses at irregular intervals and then rebuilds itself incompletely. the resulting wounds are treated with crumpled book pages. eventually there are are no more books and the child is supposed to take over this task with its body.
the complete text can be found on the tube in front of the shop window.
sound
with fieldrecordings, voice and interferences tristan marie trotz transfers the text into sound. the composition plays at random intervals.
wall and toys
on a collectively chosen color base leh-wei liao uses masking tape to reproduce organic structures, holding two toys by tristan marie trotz in place.
