A
glass candleholder, transformed into a speaker, holds a
burning beeswax candle. As the candle drips, the sound is gradually shifted by layers of melted wax.
„What do we create in times of crisis?” Lighting
a candle as a ritual may offer comfort in chaos or remembrance during
grief, but may also set things on fire and burn them down. The installation creates an introspective listening space to reflect on the fragility of the systems’ foundations we rely upon.
The sounds are based on the resonant frequencies of the glass, creating a microtonal system defined by the material itself.
