SWITCH ME

we are surrounded by lovely non-human actors. but we don't see them for what they are. maybe listening to them can be a first step toward a new relationality with them. thus I present: SWITCH ME. a project which aims to lend an ear to everyday sounds often deemed unpleasant, stressful or outright noisy.

CONCEPTION

It all started with my beloved BOSCH mixer which was a Christmas gift by my grandparents. Since then it has a evolved into a trusty companion in the adventures of cooking and culinary experiments. Though through all this, its sounds have proved to place an uneasiness on me. I asked myself:

What about it makes me feel this way? Is its sound truly distressing? Or was I raised to view it that way?

Thus began a time of active listening to my mixer.

Turning it on and off, just for the sake of it. Playing with its buttons to feel the sounds come alive. I wanted to share this experience with others.
