The Desiring Machine
 

As Artist in Residence (2022) at Sulfur Studios in Savannah, USA, I revisited a seminal Dada work. Kurt Schwitters' Merzbau (or ‘Desiring Machine’) was a continually changing, immersive environment. In early 2022, the local community, including schoolchildren, shopkeepers, and businesspeople, collaborated for a month to construct an ever-changing installation. The raw materials were provided by the same people, and their constant positioning and re-positioning generated an ever-evolving visual conversation.
