The inflatable C-19 organ (2023) is an instrument and land art piece combined into one object. Resembling the COVID-19 virus, this massive ball has a diameter of 8 meters and has already been inflated in Zurich, Hong Kong, Malmö, and Frankfurt. It is on its way to Vienna and, with a little luck, to Osaka next year. The installation serves as a reminder of the trauma a global pandemic can cause. The sound varies in every corner, as each spike ends in an organ pipe that plays a note due to the escaping air from the structure. Once inside, you feel safe, like in a womb—carried and protected against the next big thing (or small thing?)..
The organ was build in EAR mid 2023.
