The audio installation consists of six letterboxes cast from porcelain. Four of them are fixed on steel stands, two hang on the wall. Four audio boxes are hidden in the respective boxes. Each audio track is played by an instrument and together they form an orchestra, a partly consonant, partly dissonant musical composition. The porcelain objects are in conversation with one another: They speak a language that remains a mystery to the viewer/listener. Due to the high firing the porcelain form is deformed, some of the boxes have opened or are cracked. Some look as if as if they had exploded: the inserted information already escaped. They hang crookedly on one side and swing slightly, hardly noticeably back and forth. The theme of the work is disturbed communication, not being able to reach an understanding. The helplessness before the limitation of language. When what is said arrives in a different form than one had hoped for. About misunderstandings and the loneliness of the outsider.
