IPIHAN Tape Installations

Created during a five-week residency inside an abandoned building in Altenburg, Germany, these tape loop installations explored decay, memory and the gradual reclaiming of man-made structures by nature.

Field recordings from the building were combined with synthesized material and transferred onto microcassette tape loops routed physically through cracks and peeled surfaces within the space. As dust accumulated on the exposed tape over time, the audio slowly degraded, allowing the environment itself to become part of the composition.
