Jesse Draxler (USA)
Reigning Cement, 2020

This pertains to my interest for odd intermedia configurations and blurred boundaries of the project. Draxler publishes a book of site-specific photography and collage, makes series of sound recordings in the same industrial site just outside his studio and invites some 20 sound artists to make works on the basis of his recordings with only permissible addition of their own vocals.

My “Yellow Piece” is incomparably simpler, but it also contains elements of site-specific audio and video recordings and invitation to other artists/audience to contribute to the piece with their interpretation of instructions provided. Anyway, Draxler is a very inspiring artist and I am quite impressed with the sonic responses from his contributors.
