“The more the viewer moves away from the empty showcase towards the standing stool, so the clearer is the sound issuing from the showcase to be heard. … The showcase is both receptacle and site of a sound documentation. The stool is the site and distance to the work. The interaction/relationship of the viewer to the work of art and the relationship of the author to the work are recapitulated.” (Preitschopf on http://soundart.zkm.de/en/post-event-of-showing-19962012-marco-preitschopf/)

Relationship between the artist, the artwork and the audience is at the centre of several of my projects. I like how the audience has to navigate the work changing its perception. I also appreciate Preitschopf’s minimalistic presentation that does not present any unnecessary distractions from the invisible matter at hand.
