Transformer x 2

Transformer x 2 is a site-specific sound installation created for the entrance space of a disused textile factory, part of the Kubaai cultural quartier, in Bocholt, Germany. It consists of a harmonized and modulated hum of a large transformer projected into an existing vacant space, and accompanied by white and black fluorescent lighting.

The idea has been to create an immaterial alteration to the existing architecture and spatial condition: to transform the monotonous “cold” hum of the existing transformer in the entrance space into an elevated and “warm” state of sound, and make the crude and mundane architecture appear more sensuous and inviting through this subtle sonic intervention.
