interactive installation, 2016
in collaboration with Adriana Basbous
conceived during Creative Physics workshop, Beirut
exhibited at Station, Beirut
the installation is the outcome of a week-long workshop with artists Steffen Klaue and Jan Vormann, organized by Albedo platform.
the intimate and functional space of the shower is revisited in the light of infrastructural failure and parasitic interference, which have become normalized in the context of Lebanon and Beirut in particular. the installation reacts to motion, activating a radio speaker embedded in the shower head, the frequency of which can be controlled by the user through the knob.
