Piano Solo

SOLO PIANO
2021
Installation & performance





An old piano is placed in the lounge space of McKinsey, a consultance company located on the 36th floor of a skyscraper in Frankfurt Am Main, overlooking the city.  

What if an object of pleasure would be placed in the workers share office space, to distract them from work? What if one would play the piano during their break, look at the sunset and think “What am I doing with my life?”  

 


Sourced from Metropol Kino, Düsseldorf's oldest Arthouse cinema as part of a previous exhibition (SOMMER at Kunst Im Tunnel) in its previous life, the piano has played a role in the piece VDB Transit Company — a semi fictional and poetic moving company. 

Thanks to Jan Feltgen, who played the piece on sight & Victor Van Wassenhove to assist on the install.
