In a rage (use headphones)

This audio is part of my bachelor thesis in fine arts.

In the audio installation I work with the theme of panic attacks, creating an immersive experience. By hanging the bed sheets, sub-niches are created in the already existing space and allow the experiencing persons a kind of privacy. The viewer is given insight into personal experiences with panic attacks in a "private" niche. Surrounded by bed sheets, in which these speaking and narrating persons have slept. Thus the viewers and listeners are enveloped by the exhalations, smells and energies of the protagonists. 

I conducted interviews with people who have experience with panic attacks. In the audio, I underlaid excerpts and parts of conversations with sounds, noises and samples. In some cases, I highlighted, isolated, or otherwise altered concise statements without alienating them from the context. All elements used were either recorded, generated and composed by myself or available for free.

Like a panic attack, the audio cannot be experienced in two minutes, plays on time and patience. It is constructed in such a way that it is possible to enter at any point. It shows the facets of different daily lives with panic attacks, puts more focus on the pauses between attacks, and demonstrates that there is not only one panic attack.

I researched and designed the concept, conducted the interviews, chose a selection of excerpts and processed them into an auditory experience in collaboration with the amazing music producer RKS https://soundcloud.com/666rksproductions999 in his studio.
