Òscar is collaborating with photographer and artist Albert Corbí in developing an installation project based around the idea of 'subjection'. Subjection understood as the human attempt to hold the scenery in which he lives, in a time when uncertainty and a liquid perception of time and of cause-effect relations questions the real value of any of those human-built illusions. The project will develop two interventions: private and public. For the private intervention, the installation will take place in a derelict flat and Òscar will write a 15' minutes piece for guitarist Jens Franke. The piece will then be transcribed for a different instrument for the public space installation. Both interventions will be videotaped and shown in art galleries.
