Wirepiece , 2022 consists of a drum string, held tight between two points (generally between ceiling and floor) which is touched—played, really—by a strip of film stock looped in a modified projector. The projector is placed at an 45 degree angle, held in position by a wedge on top of its plinth. The strip of celluloid takes on a double role: one the one hand, as is typical of its function, light is projected through it and creates a diffuse illumination. On the other hand, in an unusual function, the film's movement against the drum string creates a silvery sound.
