2018-
All along the Cold War, East Germany maintained diplomatic relations with North Korea, while West Germany did with South Korea. Therefore a number of political and cultural parallels among the DDR and North Korea can be made.
For this piece Zabo has collected audio samples from the DDR and the DPRK, including field recordings from the loud speakers wars over the Berlin Wall and the DMZ, Radar sounds, morse voice generators and music of propaganda. She performs while resting on the prepared keyboard, the weight of her elbows randomly trigger the samples while she is in a state of total inertia.
