The wolf mask recorder is a reproduction of an instrument used in bio-acoustic research at the Animal Sound Archive in Berlin, where the skull of a dead wolf was re-built into a recorder.
In this installation the mask is connected to a loop pedal, continuously recording and amplifying the live sounds in the room. The installation is accompanied by an anecdotal text, describing Maria’s (real life) meeting with the scientist Karl.
