To Future Listeners II
2022
Phonograph, wax cylinder
1 minutes 40 seconds
Dimensions variable
A phonograph produced in the 1900s occupies a corner of the exhibition space. The sound coming from this phonograph is A-ra-rang 1, re-recorded onto a wax cylinder with my voice. This piece, at the present point, reiterates the manner in which ethnographic recordings devolve into noise, thereby extending their validity. Through this, I seek to mitigate the deathly connotations that have come to cast over ethnographic recordings.
