Citizens Band. 2012
Vierkanal-HD-Digitalvideo Installation mit Ton (21:25 Min.)
Angelica Mesiti creates performance-based videos that analyse culture in a state of transformation due to social or economic shifts. Citizens Band features four musicians whose traditional music Mesiti encountered while living in Paris and Sydney. Each performer is presented in a reenactment of a normal performance situation, and an abstract cacophony is generated from their combined music.
The installation features Geraldine Zongo, who practises the Cameroonian tradition of water drumming - or akutuk; Mohammed Lamourie, a Paris-based busker who sings traditional Algerian ballads and laments while playing a battery-operated Casio keyboard; Bukhchuluun Ganburged from Mongolia, who plays the morin khuur (horse-head fiddle) and throat sings on a corner of an urban district in Sydney; and Asim Goreshi, a professional multi-instrumentalist well-known in the Australian world-music scene, who whistles a traditional Sudanese folk melody.
