Recordist's notes
Lina Lapelytė’s installation and performance We Make Years Out of Hours. 400,000 10 x 10 x 10 cm cubes made of spruce and pine move through the hands of visitors. Landscape and soundscape are changing if there are visitors present - mainly children. The work raises questions "who decides what is built and what must be removed, and whose lives carry the weight of these changes". The title describes the significance of the part for the whole: hours become years, individuals become a community. The cubes used in the installation and performance will become part of a public artwork in Eisenhüttenstadt in 2027 as part of Lina Lapelytė’s project for Die Neuen Auftraggeber. Concept, Music & Direction: Lina Lapelytė, Soundtrack Composition: Lina Lapelytė with Daniel Bürkner and Field Recordings: Peter Cusack.
