Marco Fusinato's Destructive Sound Installation 'Constellations' Debuts at Dib Bangkok's Inaugural Exhibition
In 2025, Australian artist Marco Fusinato unveils 'Constellations' at Dib Bangkok's first exhibition, '(In)visible Presence.' This installation includes a baseball bat attached to a chain, allowing visitors to strike a wall that produces a 120-decibel sound. Originally created in 2015 for Singapore's Institute of Contemporary Arts, it was also featured at the 21st Biennale of Sydney in 2018. The wall, measuring 2700 x 380 x 70 cm, will be on display for eight months, gradually breaking down. Curator Miwako Tezuka chose this piece to reflect Dib Bangkok's artistic vision. Fusinato highlights different audience reactions and the work's flexibility, drawing inspiration from 'The Sopranos' and 'The Simpsons' while addressing themes of violence and participation.
