[ SEVERIN GOMBOCZ ]

Concept:

After one flees from war and enteres europe... how does someone hold up? how does he/she move on?
People who actually fled from war and live here in vienna with unknown asylum-status have recorded their answer on some of the cartboard bricks. There is a bigger structure in the room where, if you approach, holding one of that bricks, you will hear actual news-feeds regarding the refugee crisis in europe getting louder and louder.
This mobile installation also uses you, the participiant, as carrier, composer and arranger.

How it works:

There is a big cardboard box in the room where, if you approach with a brick with pre-recorded voices of Refugees, you will hear actual news-feeds regarding the refugee crisis in austria getting louder and louder. If you move all the small bricks away from it will remain quiet.
You can record your own voice on the bricks by flipping them over. You can listen to your own recording in combination to the existing ones. You can carry them around as you like and you may leave the brick anywhere in the exhibition space or re-arrange existing structures.
