An interactive sound installation consisting of a series of fifteen objects. Within each object is a hidden music box. All boxes are of equal melodies. By intervening on the mechanisms of the music box or by subtracting/sanding of existing cogs that produce tones, the original composition is deconstructed and new, similar, yet different sound structures are created. The audience is directly involved in creating anew different sound images/compositions that are changing depending on the amount and rate of simultaneously activated music box handles. Repetition, sameness and simultaneity of movement through sound indicates unity in the diversity of subtle shades of vibrations that we as individuals activate. The hybridity of the installation is manifested in the combinations of sculptural and painting practices within the reflection on sound object in space.
"The truth is being reconstructed and all tones invisible to the eye are touching the skin."
