leech

with his works, swedish artist carl michael von hausswolff showes his interest in revealing and using accoustic, visual, social and cultural phenomena. for the cd »leech«, he acts as a parasite on works by olafur eliasson, carsten höller, tommi grönlund/petteri nisunen and richard james. in the three first pieces he sucked the energy and sound of the electric functions of those works, sounds that normally can not be heard. on james' work, he bruises the skin surface as leeches usually do before they penetrate the body. this is a new way of sampling; a reading of the un-readable in certain types of art works. it might be a "l'art pour l'art" production but this was unavoidable since this "search for the real" continued.

»leech« is the second release by carl michael von hausswolff on raster-noton.
