2022.9
Residency at 33 Officina Creativa, Toffia, Italy

During the hour-long walks in the mountains, I picked up some very nice trash from the side of the road. I gathered them in my studio and thought maybe they wanted to talk to each other. And one way to have the objects interact is to make kinetic sculptures:
At that time I was fascinated by the aria "Musick for a While" from Henry Purcell's Oedipus (1692), in which priests are summoning ghosts. So I decided to make a puppet theater, or circus, or amusement park, where I connect myself with the objects while singing the aria.
