Piano Surdo

At Kunst in Tunnel's (KIT) current group exhibition Avante BrasilTatiana Blass's video Piano Surdo (deaf piano) shows a pianist playing Chopin while, at the same time, a mixture of warm wax and vaseline is poured into the piano.  As the wax in the piano cools down, it hardens, making it impossible for the keys to be played.  I feel the struggle, in vain, and frustration against repressed speech.
