Meta, Luca Forcucci, June 2012
"The sound of a church bell in Berlin defines an environment. The sound progresses and vibrates through chosen objects—sculpture, water, buildings—until it reaches its final form at the Berliner Festspiele. It absorbs the sonic properties of the objects through which it passes and ultimately contains the sonic information of the environment. The process of gradually forming an artwork relates to the idea of exquisite corpse from the Surrealists, but here the people playing the game are urban objects, sculpture, water, etc., that add their sonic properties. In William Rubin's words in Dada & Surrealist Art, 'Among Surrealist techniques exploiting the mystique of accident was a kind of collective collage of words or images called the cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse). Based on an old parlour game, it was played by several people, each of whom would write a phrase on a sheet of paper, fold the paper to conceal part of it, and pass it on to the next player for his contribution."
