Sound Installation

Zinc tubs, 6-channel audio, and paper boats

My grandmother used to sing an old song called "se va la lancha." This work uses different versions of the song as a conversation between the song's intriguing migratory history and early 20th-century domestic life. A parallel to the Loreley, only a few kilometers up the Rhine from the exhibition venue, which distracted the boatmen with its song and beauty, so that they crashed and drowned and thus never returned, is quite intentional.
