'The Orchestra of the West'
180 records on stool
96.5 x 31 x 31 cm
$1,800
180 used/abused LPs sourced from 2nd shops
and a tip site. While there are some treasures in
this stack they are mostly documents of folkloric
dreams, nostalgic hopes and sentimental
yearnings. Each has an A and a B side and were
once much loved. Since falling out of fashion
their journey to the junkyards of our consumer
society began. Reclaimed for this project, before
being buried in landfill, the final destination for
most non-recyclable consumer goods. The work
speaks of a time past, an outdated technology,
and ultimately is a reminder of the passage of
all technologies.
