From Goethe Institut:

DonNa Huong (Hanoi) and Ignaz Schick (Berlin) have known each other and been collaborating in joint workshops and sound projects since 2017. Both artists each have their own approach to randomly found materials. They are currently working on a joint project on the topic of Upcycling.

Ignaz Schick has always used randomly found material as a starting point for his patchwork-style compositions, physical objects, and collages – be it old records, archive material, photographs, or random finds. A central element of Schick’s work is sampling in all its variations (analog, digital, montage-like).

DonNa Huong has developed her very own obsession with objects and their inherent sound properties. She likes to work with everyday objects and random finds, eliciting the most obscure sounds and noises from her material. Inspired by Japanese sound researcher Akio Suzuki, she harnesses electronic amplification and intense performance art to provoke surprising, hidden, and unexpected sounds from her objects, creating idiosyncratic and abstract, yet poetic sound collages.

Upcycling is about exploring the sonic and musical qualities of inconspicuous or everyday objects and random finds. In three work phases, which each last several days, the two artists will jointly do research online to develop an online video performance staged by the duo.
