Listen and Learn
Created during a 2023 residency at Petrohradská kolektiv, Listen and Learn is a multimedia installation that dissects the absurdity of the contemporary housing crisis. The work functions as a satirical critique, confronting the transformation of shelter into a purely market-driven commodity.
The centerpiece of the installation is a reanimated two-burner stove, repurposed to resemble a DJ controller. This domestic kitchen relic is brought back to life with custom-made rotating plates that mimic the motion of spinning vinyl records. Embedded atop one of these kinetic heating elements is a smartphone displaying a video loop, synchronized with a curated DJ set by Drinks Menu.
By blending industrial 3D prints and silkscreening with this "remixed" household appliance, the installation creates a high-energy, performative lecture. It forces a collision between the domestic reality of the home and the fast-paced, speculative nature of the real estate market, inviting the audience to "listen and learn" to the rhythmic, often violent, economic dynamics that dictate where and how we live.
