Sound-Performance

Breathing Foghorns

Since a century Iceland is an important fishing nation. The fishing trade is the main economy fact of Iceland. In 1975 the Iceland fishing area was expanded to 200sm for essential reasons to save the living conditions of the iceland-population. Like a temporary symbol I want to realize the Sound-performance "Harbour Sound-Waves 1996" in the fisher-boat- harbour of Reykjavik. Particular informations about this project: At 24th of September 1996 it should be realized this "Sound-waves" about 8 minutes (time: around 3 pm.). I require 7 - 10 fisher-boats or trawlers with acoustic signal systems like fog-horns, typhones or sirens for producing an experimental acoustic conversation in a very free, strange way. Every boat can "breath out" their fog-horns, typhones or sirens 20-times during the 8-minutes-Sound-Performance. The "Sound-performance" will be documented by tape-recorder and video. After the performance-realization the public should be informed by radio, newspaper, Internet..., what really happened in the Harbour of Reykjavik. This Sound-Performance (a part of the AWP-Sculpture Plan Project) was cancelled by L.I.U.-Landssamband Íslenzkra Útvegsmanna (The Federation of Icelandic Fishing Vessel Owners). "We therefore respectfully decline to participate in this project" -"The proposed project does not interest us", they said.
