   Soft Power: Neighbours

Some of the 70 carpet rolls are driven by motors. The pressure of the surrounding rolls causes the other rolls to start spinning as well. The speed of the rotation depends on the proximity, stability and movement of the neighbouring rolls.
The friction of the different materials against each other creates different sounds, volumes and rhythms.
The used carpets come from dozens of  households of my neighborhood in Berlin; everyday objects with different textures, motifs and cultural contexts.
