Music While We Work
Huwei, Yunlin, Taiwan, 2011
Multi-channel audio and video installation projected on the wall
Hong-Kai Wang’s Music While We Work investigates the collective experience of listening and recording at a specific social space of labor and production. Returning to her hometown Huwei, Taiwan, Wang collaborates with an over 100-year-old sugar factory and invites a group of retired workers and their spouses to return to the historic industrial site. Through recording workshops they learn to take charge of the microphone and to later record sounds found at their former workplace.
