Sleeping Beauty Syndrome I
Installation, Political / Social, Various materials, 500x250x500cm
Setup in a room without windows, in a clinical atmosphere, totally aseptic except for the excrement of the doves which are, let out during the opening.
In the center of the room is a reproduction of a mobilephone microwave antenna, in every corner a reconverted speaker from which the viewer listens to a multitracked soundfile. That one is dominated by a “Shepherd-Sound”: a sound that produces an illusion of permanent swelling, after a few minutes a noise of haunting effection because there is no releasing climax.The remained tracks are sine curves of high-pitched and really low-frequented tones between 63 and 100 hertz, extremely unpleasing for the human sense of hearing, as well as the familiar automatic laughing that is used for comedy shows.
The whispered text taken from the internet expresses a conspiracy theory about a supposed incident in Great Britain. Those waves shall prevent aggression and have an effect on the human psyche.
The title of the piece „Sleeping Beauty Syndrome I“ refers to the codename of a military project established by the government during the era of Reagan when a system of weapons working with microwaves, temporarily adopted in Iraq, was investigated.
