Interactive Audio Sculpture

“Fire Extinguisher” is an interactive audio sculpture exploring a cultural phenomenon in Bulgaria’s recent–the act of the self-immolation of over 60 people–that is suppressed in public discourse.

A fire extinguisher, equipped with a motion sensor and audio system, plays voice messages when approached.

The volume lowers with proximity, creating a space of intimacy.

Once a silent safety object, it now becomes a vessel for voices of absence and a quiet dialogue with a public secret.
