Spinning my web

David Abir + Marie-Christine Katz, live and work in NY

Spinning my web is a collaboration between sound-artist David Abir and visual artist Marie-Christine Katz.  It depicts Katz’s whereabouts, as recorded and drawn in her project Mapping Memory, during a one year period from September 2001 until September 2002.  It is a three-dimensional web-like structure in wire and broken glass combined with a sound installation by David Abir inspired by this work. The sound work is a combination of recordings of Katz’s voice and interviews she conducted as well as music excerpts from various songs.

”The small broken pieces of glass, representing places that are meaningful to me, have for the most part been covered up by the repetitive passage of the wire”.  

Spinning my web is hanged in a manner that gives the viewer a sense that the sculpture is floating in mid-air.
