Call on Me

Speaker, Digital mp3 Player, Bell

33. Koblenz Guitar Festival, Bendorf, Germany (1-9 June 2025)

This installation was initially conceived as a variation on my first installation in

Iran, titled “Silent Sounds.” While researching the bell, I discovered that there used to be a bell at this location to summon workers to the iron casting hall, which is now the venue for the exhibition and festival. I incorporated this historical connection as a question, to deepen the relationship between the object and its setting.

 I decided to present the description of the sound of the bell as a sound file, narrated by an AI-generated voice. In this way, visitors could hear a voice emanating from the bell, describing its sound and offering brief insights about the object itself.
