INDEX
Installation, c-prints, shelfs, books, 2005-2008

The installation consists of two depictions of personal music collections and the appendant hi-fi stereo systems of two Berlin inhabitants. In the style of technical explosion drawings known from manuals the information architectures of the actual collections have been reconstructed true to scale, leaving no detail out. Books, displayed next to the drawings, list each depicted item. Taking music and one's personal history of music listening as a sophisticated code to trace experiences and memories, the installation portraits two individuals and the same time a fraction of the city of Berlin. While the two persons are of different generations, the depicted music collections strikingly demostrate the changes that our daily music practises have undergone.
