The sound installation by Tolga BALCI assembles an ephemera of sound created by membranes and objects that are amplified by coils and magnets that deliver sizzles, murmurs, trills, rumbles, roars, and echoes of voices. These voices refrain from these questions poetically. Singing voices carry a dialectic quarrel rhyme of two political epochs…post- politics, hyper politics… These voices, that interchange roles, perhaps become the forces of “Potestas”, power, ability, opportunity, and authority, or “Conatus”, effort, endeavour, impulse, inclination, striving.
