“White Noise Karaoke”
In White Noise Karaoke, a woman continuously vacuums the festival grounds, singing confidently along to the soundtrack playing only in her headphones. Her vintage vacuum cleaner has morphed into an oversized dollhouse and emits a warm glow. The work resonates with themes of domestic rituals, gender performance, humour and valourizing the everyday.
