Wooden box, neon tube, loudspeaker, motor
Exhibition view: Cantonale, Stadgalerie Bern,
2015
The inner workings of the box are exposed: Wiring, neon tubes, covering materials, and rudimentary motors are visible. It remains uncertain whether this is an objet trouvé or a construction by the artist. The moiré effect of the slowly moving film creates a ripple effect, accompanied by mechanical ocean noise and the flickering neon light. Unknown Pleasure (2015) is the artist's name for the work, which, despite its unmistakable artificiality, develops a pull that inevitably transports us to another, exotic place.
