The work first appears like a very luxurious set: a fine LCD screen, on a shining metal pole. Everything seems hi-tech and perfect. But what you see is not what you get. Through the headphones comes a whirring sound, that seems to start from far away, getting closer and closer until your head is shaken by the wind. Then it almost disappears again in strange murmurings. On the screen, a musician is in a recording studio. Everything is around him, instruments, drums, keyboard, but he prefers simply to whistle in the microphone. The work reflects a young man’s personal war memories, but never simplifies the reflection on the reality of war and violence into a definitive statement that provides easy answers.
